SWEDE - a tool to create and verify TLSA (DANE) records
================================================================================
Swede aims to provide a one-stop solutions to create and test TLSA records.

                                                                         LICENSE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Python (>= 2.6)
- python-{unbound, argparse, ipaddr, m2crypto}

swede has been tested on Debian 6 (Squeeze) using the python-unbound package
from squeeze-backports.

                                                                        FEATURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Creation of all 24 permutations of TLSA records
- Output in generic and RFC format
- Ability to load certificates from disk to create records from
- Verify TLSA records 'in the field' with the certificates offered by the TLS
  service running on the server

                                                                           USAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See EXAMPLES below and try the following:
swede --help
swede create --help
swede verify --help

                                                                        EXAMPLES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
swede create --usage 1 --output rfc www.os3.nl
swede --insecure create --usage 0 mail.google.com

swede verify -p 1516 dane.kiev.practicum.os3.nl
swede verify ulthar.us
                                                                            TODO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Create and verify should check the CN in the Subject of the certificate
- The verification for usage 2 is _VERY_ naive
- Creation tool that does an AXFR for a full zone, collects all hostnames, gets
  the certificates (or the CA certificate from the commandline) and creates all
  TLSA records.
- Test certificates (other than using the functions in M2Crypto) when no chain
  is presented during the TLS session
- Manpage

                                                                      KNOWN BUGS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- swede is mostly untested.
- Not everything that can raise an exception is in a try/except block
- No support for SRV record indirection (see Issue 28 of the DANE-WG)
- No support for TLS/SSL over UDP or SCTP
- No support for STARTTLS type protocols (only 'straight' SSL/TLS conections)
