Where is the machine-readable manifest?

Use the manifest when you need stable names, SHA256 values, and URLs for automation.

Validation Methodology
  • Validate certificate chains, key handling, and parser behavior before any deployment use.
  • Test encrypted versus unencrypted private-key handling in your loaders.
  • Confirm trust-store import logic and CSR metadata inspection paths.
