CFSSL (Cloudflare's PKI/TLS swiss army knife) is an open-source toolkit for managing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Transport Layer Security (TLS). It functions as both a command-line interface (CLI) tool and an HTTP API server, enabling users to sign, verify, and bundle TLS certificates efficiently. Key Components: - cfssl: Primary CLI utility for PKI operations such as signing certificates, generating keys, creating bundles, and starting the API server. - multirootca: Certificate authority server supporting multiple signing keys, endpoints for signing, authenticated signing, and revocation info. - mkbundle: Utility for building root and intermediate certificate bundles by checking revocation/expiry. - cfssljson: Converter for JSON output to PEM files for keys, certificates, CSRs, and bundles. Core Capabilities: 1. Certificate Signing: Users sign Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) with local/remote CA using JSON configuration for hostnames and subject details. 2. Certificate Bundling: CFSSL builds chains with flavors (optimal, ubiquitous, force) based on cryptographic strength and browser compatibility. 3. Key and CSR Generation: Generate private keys and corresponding CSRs or self-signed certificates via JSON templates. 4. OCSP Support: Generate OCSP responses for issued certificates and serve via OCSP responder. 5. API Server: Start HTTP-based API server for remote certificate operations, configurable with custom addresses, ports, logging levels, and database configurations. Installation: Requires Go 1.20+ due to cgo dependencies; prebuilt binaries on GitHub releases. Widely used in infrastructure for TLS certificate lifecycle automation.
