CDC x509 Certificates

Successfully used certificates generated by the CDC to transfer data from Atlanta to Dallas. The certificates were extracted using the Portecle application in PEM format. The entire certificate chain should be used in each hash file. Remove the private key data from the file.

The command:

openssl x509 -issuer_hash -in [file_name].pem was used to determine the hash name the file should be named after.

openssl x509 -issuer -in [file_name].pem was used to determine the access_id_CA that should be used in the signing policy.

openssl x509 -subject -in [file_name].pem was used to determine the cond_subjects that should be used in the signing policy.
