```javascript
var certs = require('windows-certs');

certs.get({
  storeName: 'CertificateAuthority',
  storeLocation: 'LocalMachine'
}, function (err, certs) {
   console.log(certs);
});

  "issuer": "foo bar",
  "thumbprint": "...",
  "pem": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nMIID9DCCAtygAwIBAgIJANWBEUdUZOlPMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMFkxCzAJBgNV..."
