         Returns an instance of the extension type corresponding to the OID.
 
+.. class:: KeyUsage
+
+    .. versionadded:: 0.9
+
+    The key usage extension defines the purpose of the key contained in the
+    certificate.  The usage restriction might be employed when a key that could
+    be used for more than one operation is to be restricted. It corresponds to
+    :data:`OID_KEY_USAGE`.
+
+    .. attribute:: digital_signature
+
+        :type: bool
+
+        This is asserted when the subject public key is used for verifying
+        digital signatures, other than signatures on certificates
+        (``key_cert_sign``) and CRLs (``crl_sign``).
+
+    .. attribute:: content_commitment
+
+        :type: bool
+
+        This is asserted when the subject public key is used for verifying
+        digital signatures, other than signatures on certificates
+        (``key_cert_sign``) and CRLs (``crl_sign``). It is used to provide a
+        non-repudiation service that protects against the signing entity
+        falsely denying some action. In the case of later conflict, a
+        reliable third party may determine the authenticity of the signed
+        data. This was called ``non_repudiation`` in older revisions of the
+        X.509 specification.
+
+    .. attribute:: key_encipherment
+
+        :type: bool
+
+        This is asserted when the subject public key is used for enciphering
+        private or secret keys.
+
+    .. attribute:: data_encipherment
+
+        :type: bool
+
+        This is asserted when the subject public key is used for directly
+        enciphering raw user data without the use of an intermediate symmetric
+        cipher.
+
+    .. attribute:: key_agreement
+
+        :type: bool
+
+        This is asserted when the subject public key is used for key agreement.
+        For example, when a Diffie-Hellman key is to be used for key
+        management, then this bit is set.
+
+    .. attribute:: key_cert_sign
+
+        :type: bool
+
+        This is asserted when the subject public key is used for verifying
+        signatures on public key certificates. If this bit is asserted then
+        ``ca`` must be true in the :class:`BasicConstraints` extension.
+
+    .. attribute:: crl_sign
+
+        :type: bool
+
+        This is asserted when the subject public key is used for verifying
+        signatures on certificate revocation lists.
+
+    .. attribute:: encipher_only
+
+        :type: bool
+
+        The meaning of this bit is undefined in the absence of the
+        ``key_agreement`` bit.  When this bit is asserted and the
+        ``key_agreement`` bit is also set, the subject public key may be
+        used only for enciphering data while performing key agreement.
+
+        :raises ValueError: This is raised if accessed when ``key_agreement``
+            is false.
+
+    .. attribute:: decipher_only
+
+        :type: bool
+
+        The meaning of this bit is undefined in the absence of the
+        ``key_agreement`` bit.  When this bit is asserted and the
+        ``key_agreement`` bit is also set, the subject public key may be
+        used only for deciphering data while performing key agreement.
+
+        :raises ValueError: This is raised if accessed when ``key_agreement``
+            is false.
