+Certifi: Python SSL Certificates
+================================
+
+`Certifi`_ is a carefully curated collection of Root Certificates for
+validating the trustworthiness of SSL certificates while verifying the identity
+of TLS hosts. It has been extracted from the `Requests`_ project.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+``certifi`` is available on PyPI. Simply install it with ``pip``::
+
+    $ pip install certifi
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+To reference the installed certificate authority (CA) bundle, you can use the
+built-in function::
+
+    >>> import certifi
+
+    >>> certifi.where()
+    '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pem'
+
+Enjoy!
+
+1024-bit Root Certificates
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Browsers and certificate authorities have concluded that 1024-bit keys are
+unacceptably weak for certificates, particularly root certificates. For this
+reason, Mozilla has removed any weak (i.e. 1024-bit key) certificate from its
+bundle, replacing it with an equivalent strong (i.e. 2048-bit or greater key)
+certificate from the same CA. Because Mozilla removed these certificates from
+its bundle, ``certifi`` removed them as well.
+
+Unfortunately, old versions of OpenSSL (less than 1.0.2) sometimes fail to
+validate certificate chains that use the strong roots. For this reason, if you
+fail to validate a certificate using the ``certifi.where()`` mechanism, you can
+intentionally re-add the 1024-bit roots back into your bundle by calling
+``certifi.old_where()`` instead. This is not recommended in production: if at
+all possible you should upgrade to a newer OpenSSL. However, if you have no
+other option, this may work for you.
