Short description
ActivID Credential Management System Extension Shows TLS certificate info and validation level of the servers you connect.
Full summary

The browser extension enables a credential management system to connect with a device (such as a smart card or USB key) via the browser. It provides the capability to provision credentials such as digital certificates into these devices, and to perform updates to the devices after the initial provisioning. This extension is compatible with ActivID Credential Management System. If you use the WorkforceID Digital Credential Manager, or another application based on HID’s credential management technology, please use this extension instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hid-credential-management/ncphcdigcdkjeagemagmchkgommoifjd.

Please read the description carefully before installing:

This is a simple extension that displays the validation level, expiration and more info of the SSL / TLS server certificate of the website you visit to help determine the identity of the server.

CAVEATS:

  1. Due to the limitation of Chrome's extension API, the validation info is fetched and processed by our backend API, which only receives the hostname (not the full URL) you visit. Note that in TLS, hostnames are already sent in plaintext to the server because of SNI, regardless if you use this extension or not. For the same reason, the extension will only be able to display information of hosts available to connect from the public network.

  2. This extension extracts certificate info and performs very basic validation, it should be used as a reference and shouldn't be relied on for certificate validation.

  3. Certificate data is cached for 5 minutes.

This extension is open-source (GPLv3): https://github.com/blupig/certificate-info
