Chapter 9: Advanced Certificate Management

In this chapter we will learn how to install and use xca, an advanced tool for Windows with which we can easily manage our X509 certificates. We will also learn how to use its Linux alternative, TinyCA2, which can even manage multiple certificate authorities. Both tools can be used to generate certificate revocation lists that are used to block unwanted connections by formerly authorized clients, like stolen notebooks.
