The following is the list of issuers of qualified digital certificates in Slovenia with URLs to the root certificates and certificate revocation lists.

• SIGEN-CA
  Certificate: PEM DER
  CRL: PEM DER Text
• SIGOV-CA
  Certificate: PEM DER
  CRL: PEM DER Text
• Halcom CA
  Certificate (natural persons): DER
  Certificate (juristic persons): DER
  CRL (natural persons): PEM
  CRL (juristic persons): PEM
• AC NLB
  Certificate: DER
  CRL: PEM
• POŠTA®CA
  Certificate: PEM DER
  CRL: PEM DER

Observations

I could not find the link to AC NLB’s CRL anywhere on their website. I called them by phone and they referred me to an email address (which was different from the one on their web page). I then sent an email with my question to the address and received a one-line, no hello, no signature response with the URL to the revocation list.

Also, AC NLB’s CRL has a .crl extension, but is in fact PEM-encoded, even though for every other CA that extension signifies DER encoding.

Converting between formats

You can convert between PEM and DER formats using openssl.

Converting certificates:
openssl x509 -in <input file> -inform <input format> -out <output file> -outform <output format>
Example (converting a certificate from DER to PEM format):
openssl x509 -in ACNLB.cer -inform DER -out ACNLB.pem -outform PEM

Converting CRLs:
openssl crl -in <input file> -inform <input format> -out <output file> -outform <output format>
Example (converting a CRL from PEM to DER format):
openssl crl -in acnlbcrl.crl -inform PEM -out acnlbcrl-der.crl -outform DER
