I'm on a mission to list the self-signed certificates ('issued by' and 'issued to' match) on my machine via an automated method. PowerShell is available for use. Preferably the results would be exported to a nice human-readable file.

  • Only way I know how to do it would be through MSDN. But maybe checkout this link on browsing certificates with PowerShell

  • If relevant note the roots in the Windows store on [your] machine are not the only ones that will be trusted by most software on your Windows system e.g. IE/Edge Chrome and dotNET, but not Firefox and Java.

  • What RoraZ and Dave said. Also: the Windows cert stores are really more of a CACHE than an actual store proper. Windows trusts about 300 roots out of the box. And the local store/cache is updated via the Internet ON-DEMAND if you ever encounter one of them. See 1, 2.

Try “cert:” PsDrive

This here will be human readable. And (thanks to the semicolon as the delimiter) it will also open nicely in Excel:

dir cert: -Recurse | 
where {$_.subject -ne $null} | 
where {$_.subject -eq $_.issuer} | 
Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8 -delimiter ';' -path selfsignedcerts.csv

    What am I doing wrong? Powershell is rejecting this.

  • @Loren: open a dedicated question for that and then give the the link.
