-`simple-ca.sh` is a Bash script that provides functions for creating and managing a simple Certificate Authority (CA) and generating certificates. It can create a single or two-level CA hierarchy, and generate client-server TLS certificates. The script is designed to be simple and easy to use, making it suitable for testing and development purposes, where a self-signed certificate is not sufficient.
+Tools for creating and managing a simple Certificate Authority for testing and development. Three implementations are provided — pick whichever fits your environment:

-All certificates generated by this script have a random serial number.
+| | `simple-ca.sh` | `simple-ca.py` | Go binary |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Usage | sourced function library | CLI | compiled CLI |
+| Config file | none | `simple-ca.json` | none |
+| AIA base URL | `aia_base_url.txt` | `simple-ca.json` | `aia_base_url.txt` |
+| Certificate history | no | yes | no |
+| CRL generation | no | yes | no |
+| Revocation | no | yes | no |
+| PFX (`--apple-openssl`) | yes | yes | yes |
+| Requires | bash/zsh + openssl | Python 3.8+ + openssl | none (native crypto) |

-## Functions
+All variants share the same directory layout and produce interchangeable files.

-### `make_ca()`
+## Directory layout

-This function creates a root CA certificate and private key. It can optionally create an intermediate CA certificate and private key, which is signed by the root CA. The function takes several parameters to customize the CA creation process, such as the CA name, validity period, and whether to create an intermediate CA.
-
-Usage:
-
-```bash
-make_ca  [--days <validity_days>] [--issuing-ca <name>] <ca_directory> <ca_name>
+```
+CA_DIR/
+  ca_cert.pem              root CA certificate
+  ca_key.pem               root CA private key
+  ca_bundle.pem            root + all issuing CA certs concatenated
+  aia_base_url.txt         base URL for AIA extension (shell/Go only)
+  {name}_cert.pem          certificate issued by root CA
+  {name}_key.pem           key for certificate issued by root CA
+  {issuing_ca}/
+    ca_cert.pem            issuing CA certificate
+    ca_key.pem             issuing CA private key
+    {name}_cert.pem        certificate issued by issuing CA
+    {name}_key.pem         key for certificate issued by issuing CA
 ```

- `<ca_directory>`: The directory where the CA files will be stored.
- `<ca_name>`: The name of the CA.
- `--days <validity_days>`: Optional. The number of days the CA certificate will be valid. Default is 3650 days (10 years).
- `--issuing-ca <name>`: Optional. If specified, creates an intermediate CA with <ca_name> as the intermediate CA name and using <name> as certificate and key file prefix for the issuing CA (instead of root's `ca`).
+Python additionally writes:

-It also maintains a `ca_bundle.pem` file in the CA directory containing the root CA and any issuing CA certificates concatenated together. Use this bundle with `openssl verify -CAfile <ca_directory>/ca_bundle.pem` instead of relying on hash symlinks — this works identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows without symlink privileges.
-
-### `make_cert()`
-
-This function generates a certificate and private key with TLS Web Server Authentication and Client Authentication EKUs. The certificate is signed by the specified CA (either root or intermediate).
-
-Usage:
-
-```bash
-make_cert --ca-dir <ca_directory> [--days <validity_days>] [--issuing-ca <name>] <cert_directory> <subject_name>
+```
+CA_DIR/
+  simple-ca.json           config + certificate history
+  crl.pem                  root CA CRL (make-crl)
+  {issuing_ca}/
+    crl.pem                issuing CA CRL (make-crl)
 ```

- `<ca_directory>`: The directory where the CA files are stored (used to find the CA certificate and key for signing).
- `<cert_directory>`: The directory where the generated certificate and key will be stored.
- `<subject_name>`: The subject name (Common Name) for the certificate.
- `--days <validity_days>`: Optional. The number of days the certificate will be valid. Default is 365 days.
- `--issuing-ca <name>`: Optional. If specified, uses the CA with the key `<name>_key.pem` and certificate `<name>_cert.pem` for signing instead of the root CA.
+Use `ca_bundle.pem` with `openssl verify -CAfile CA_DIR/ca_bundle.pem` — this works identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows without relying on hash symlinks.

-### `make_pfx()`
+---

-This function creates a PKCS#12 (PFX) file containing the certificate, private key, and CA certificate chain. This is useful for importing the certificate into applications that require a PFX file.
+## Shell — `simple-ca.sh`

-Usage:
+Source the file and call the functions directly. `SIMPLE_CA_DIR` is set by the first `--ca-dir` call and inherited by all subsequent calls in the same session. It can also be set in the environment before sourcing.

 ```bash
-make_pfx --ca-dir <ca_directory> [--issuing-ca <file_prefix>] --path <pfx_file_path> [--password <pfx_password>]
+source simple-ca.sh
 ```

- `--ca-dir <ca_directory>`: The directory where the CA files are stored (used to find the CA certificate for the chain).
- `--issuing-ca <file_prefix>`: The file prefix of the issuing CA to include in the chain.
- `--path <pfx_file_path>`: The path where the generated PFX file will be saved.
- `--password <pfx_password>`: Optional. The custom password to protect the PFX, instead of the default `changeit`.
+### `make_ca`
+
+```bash
+make_ca [--ca-dir DIR] [--days N] [--aia-base-url URL] [--issuing-ca NAME] CA_NAME
+```
+
+Without `--issuing-ca`: creates the root CA in `DIR`.  
+With `--issuing-ca NAME`: creates an issuing CA in `DIR/NAME/`, signed by the root CA.
+
+### `make_cert`
+
+```bash
+make_cert [--ca-dir DIR] [--cert-dir DIR] [--days N] [--issuing-ca NAME] SUBJECT [SAN ...]
+```
+
+Creates a TLS certificate (serverAuth + clientAuth). `SUBJECT` is used as the CN and first SAN. Additional SANs can be DNS names or IPv4 addresses. Without `--cert-dir`, files are written to the signing CA's directory.
+
+### `make_pfx`
+
+```bash
+make_pfx [--ca-dir DIR] [--issuing-ca NAME] [--password PASS] [--apple-openssl] CERT_PATH
+```
+
+Creates a PKCS#12 bundle from an existing certificate. `--apple-openssl` uses `/usr/bin/openssl` to produce a PFX that Apple Keychain and iOS accept (legacy RC2/3DES encryption instead of modern PBES2).
+
+### Example — two-level CA
+
+```bash
+source simple-ca.sh
+
+make_ca --ca-dir /tmp/ca "My Root CA"
+make_ca --issuing-ca servers "My Servers CA"
+
+make_cert --issuing-ca servers web.example.com web.example.com 192.168.1.1
+make_pfx  --issuing-ca servers --password s3cr3t /tmp/ca/servers/web_cert.pem
+```
+
+---
+
+## Python — `simple-ca.py`
+
+A standalone CLI with the same commands as the shell variant plus CRL generation and revocation. Configuration and certificate history are stored in `simple-ca.json` inside the CA directory.
+
+```bash
+python3 simple-ca.py COMMAND [OPTIONS] [ARGS]
+```
+
+### Commands
+
+```bash
+make-ca   [--ca-dir DIR] [--days N] [--ca-publish-base-url URL] [--issuing-ca NAME] CA_NAME
+make-cert [--ca-dir DIR] [--cert-dir DIR] [--days N] [--issuing-ca NAME] SUBJECT [SAN ...]
+make-pfx  [--ca-dir DIR] [--issuing-ca NAME] [--password PASS] [--apple-openssl] CERT_PATH
+make-crl  [--ca-dir DIR] [--issuing-ca NAME] [--days N]
+revoke-cert [--ca-dir DIR] [--issuing-ca NAME] CERT_PATH
+```
+
+`--ca-publish-base-url` embeds both AIA (Authority Information Access) and CRL Distribution Point extensions in issued certificates, pointing to the published location of the CA cert and CRL file.
+
+### Example — two-level CA with CRL
+
+```bash
+python3 simple-ca.py make-ca  --ca-dir /tmp/ca "My Root CA"
+python3 simple-ca.py make-ca  --ca-dir /tmp/ca --issuing-ca servers "My Servers CA"
+
+python3 simple-ca.py make-cert --ca-dir /tmp/ca --issuing-ca servers web.example.com web.example.com 192.168.1.1
+python3 simple-ca.py make-cert --ca-dir /tmp/ca --issuing-ca servers alice.example.com alice.example.com
+
+python3 simple-ca.py revoke-cert --ca-dir /tmp/ca --issuing-ca servers /tmp/ca/servers/alice_cert.pem
+python3 simple-ca.py make-crl    --ca-dir /tmp/ca --issuing-ca servers
+```
+
+---
+
+## Go binary
+
+Equivalent to the shell variant in features. Uses native Go crypto — no `openssl` subprocess required except for `--apple-openssl` PFX generation.
+
+```bash
+cd src/simple-ca && go build -o simple-ca .
+```
+
+### Commands
+
+```bash
+simple-ca make-ca   [--ca-dir DIR] [--days N] [--aia-base-url URL] [--issuing-ca NAME] CA_NAME
+simple-ca make-cert [--ca-dir DIR] [--cert-dir DIR] [--days N] [--issuing-ca NAME] SUBJECT [SAN ...]
+simple-ca make-pfx  [--ca-dir DIR] [--issuing-ca NAME] [--password PASS] [--apple-openssl] CERT_PATH
+```
+
+`SIMPLE_CA_DIR` environment variable is used as the default CA directory when `--ca-dir` is not specified.
+
+### Example — two-level CA
+
+```bash
+export SIMPLE_CA_DIR=/tmp/ca
+
+simple-ca make-ca  "My Root CA"
+simple-ca make-ca  --issuing-ca servers "My Servers CA"
+
+simple-ca make-cert --issuing-ca servers web.example.com web.example.com 192.168.1.1
+simple-ca make-pfx  --issuing-ca servers --password s3cr3t /tmp/ca/servers/web_cert.pem
+```
