Description

The admin tool should be able to generate a list of SHA-256 fingerprints over the certificates described in an incident table.

This would be particularly useful for compliance incidents, because we usually need to provide a list of crt.sh or Censys links describing the entire corpus of affected certificates, which are best constructed using the SHA-256 hash.

Research direction

Determine where a fingerprint list could be generated, then verify that the output contains SHA-256 fingerprints for every certificate in the table and supports the crt.sh or Censys links described in the issue.
