Truststore is a library which exposes native system certificate stores (ie "trust stores") through an ssl.SSLContext-like API. This means that Python applications no longer need to rely on certifi as a root certificate store. Native system certificate stores have many helpful features compared to a static certificate bundle like certifi: * Automatically update certificates as new CAs are created and removed * Fetch missing intermediate certificates * Check certificates against certificate revocation lists (CRLs) to avoid monster-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks * Managed per-system rather than per-application by a operations/IT team * PyPI is no longer a CA distribution channel
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
