CPCT is capable of analyzing a certificate’s conformance to a pre-defined certificate profile. User input consists of a certificate and a profile selection. After processing the certificate, CPCT outputs a table similar in formatting to the certificate format tables often included in Certificate Profile documents, but including additional analysis content indicating PASS or specific text describing the non-conformance.
The tool is capable of analyzing certificates for conformance with the FPKI profiles described in the documents available on the Federal Public Key Infrastructure (FPKI) web page
To better serve the FPKI community, the CPCT was transitioned from an online application to an application that is hosted and run from the user’s workstation. Users can now access the CPCT application directly from their local hard drive using Docker Desktop. A link to more information on how to access the CPCT application is provided below.
