I see the WebCrypto API will allow discovery of keys
(http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/):

    In addition to operations such as signature generation
    and verification, hashing and verification, and encryption
    and decryption, the API provides interfaces for key
    generation, key derivation, key import and export, and
    key discovery.

Certificates have public keys, and they are not as sensitive as private keys.

Will the WebCrypto API allow discovery/enumeration of certificates?

Examples of what I would like to discover or enumerate (in addition to
the private keys):

 * Trusted roots
 * Client certs

Trusted Roots are in the platform's trust store. Client certs may be
in the trust store.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff
