Notary is an open-source TLS Certificate Management software. It provides a secure, reliable, and simple way to manage x.509 certificates for your applications and services.
We designed Notary for Enterprise environments where users need to securely manage the lifecycle of a large number of certificates.
- Certificate Authority: Notary can act as a Certificate Authority (CA) to issue certificates, both as a root and intermediate CA.
- Secure Intermediary: Notary acts as an intermediary between your CA and your certificate requests, providing a secure way to distribute certificates.
- User Management: Decide who can request and provide certificates.
- Simple UI: A simple and intuitive web interface for managing certificates.
- Extensive HTTP API: Accomplish all the tasks you can do in the UI via the HTTP API.
- Metrics: Monitor the state of your certificates and the health of your Notary instance with Prometheus metrics.
- Encryption Backend Support: Secure Notary's private keys using a PKCS#11 compliant Hardware Security Module (HSM) or HashiCorp Vault.
Notary is an open source project that warmly welcomes community contributions, suggestions, fixes, and constructive feedback.
