+=================================
+
+[◀ Go back to main README](../README.md)
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This script renews certificates issued by a local certificate authority (CA).
+Optionally the certificates are exported with individual passphrases for
+easy pick-up.
+
+Requirements and installation
+-----------------------------
+
+Just install the script:
+
+    $ScriptInstallUpdate certificate-renew-issued;
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+The configuration goes to `global-config-overlay`, there is just one
+parameter:
+
+* `CertRenewPass`: an array holding individual passphrases for certificates
+
+Usage and invocation
+--------------------
+
+Run the script to renew certificates issued from a local CA.
+
+    / system script run certificate-renew-issued;

+Only scripts with a remaining lifetime of three weeks or less are renewed.
+The old certificate is revoked automatically. If a passphrase for a specific
+certificate is given in `CertRenewPass` the certificate is exported and
+PKCS#12 file (`cert-issued/CN.p12`) can be found on device's storage.
