X.509 is an ITU-T standard for a `public key infrastructure`_. X.509v3 is
defined in :rfc:`5280` (which obsoletes :rfc:`2459` and :rfc:`3280`). X.509
certificates are commonly used in protocols like `TLS`_.

Loading Certificates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. function:: load_pem_x509_certificate(data, backend)

    .. versionadded:: 0.7

    Deserialize a certificate from PEM encoded data. PEM certificates are
    base64 decoded and have delimiters that look like
    ``-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----``.

    :param bytes data: The PEM encoded certificate data.

    :param backend: A backend supporting the
        :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.X509Backend`
        interface.

    :returns: An instance of :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate`.

.. function:: load_der_x509_certificate(data, backend)

    .. versionadded:: 0.7

    Deserialize a certificate from DER encoded data. DER is a binary format
    and is commonly found in files with the ``.cer`` extension (although file
    extensions are not a guarantee of encoding type).

    :param bytes data: The DER encoded certificate data.

    :param backend: A backend supporting the
        :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.X509Backend`
        interface.

    :returns: An instance of :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate`.

.. doctest::

    >>> from cryptography import x509
    >>> from cryptography.hazmat.backends import default_backend
    >>> cert = x509.load_pem_x509_certificate(pem_data, default_backend())
    >>> cert.serial
    2

Loading Certificate Signing Requests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. function:: load_pem_x509_csr(data, backend)

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    Deserialize a certificate signing request (CSR) from PEM encoded data. PEM
    requests are base64 decoded and have delimiters that look like
    ``-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----``. This format is also known as
    PKCS#10.

    :param bytes data: The PEM encoded request data.

    :param backend: A backend supporting the
        :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.X509Backend`
        interface.

    :returns: An instance of
        :class:`~cryptography.x509.CertificateSigningRequest`.

.. function:: load_der_x509_csr(data, backend)

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    Deserialize a certificate signing request (CSR) from DER encoded data. DER
    is a binary format and is not commonly used with CSRs.

    :param bytes data: The DER encoded request data.

    :param backend: A backend supporting the
        :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.X509Backend`
        interface.

    :returns: An instance of
        :class:`~cryptography.x509.CertificateSigningRequest`.

X.509 Extensions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: Extensions

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    An X.509 Extensions instance is an ordered list of extensions.  The object
    is iterable to get every extension.

    .. method:: get_extension_for_oid(oid)

        :param oid: An :class:`ObjectIdentifier` instance.

        :returns: An instance of the extension class.

        :raises cryptography.x509.ExtensionNotFound: If the certificate does
            not have the extension requested.

        .. doctest::

            >>> cert.extensions.get_extension_for_oid(x509.OID_BASIC_CONSTRAINTS)
            <Extension(oid=<ObjectIdentifier(oid=2.5.29.19, name=basicConstraints)>, critical=True, value=<BasicConstraints(ca=True, path_length=None)>)>

.. class:: Extension

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    .. attribute:: oid

        :type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

        The :ref:`extension OID <extension_oids>`.

    .. attribute:: critical

        :type: bool

        Determines whether a given extension is critical or not. :rfc:`5280`
        requires that "A certificate-using system MUST reject the certificate
        if it encounters a critical extension it does not recognize or a
        critical extension that contains information that it cannot process".

    .. attribute:: value

        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 purpose is set to true 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 purpose is set to true 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 purpose is set to true when the subject public key is used for
        enciphering private or secret keys.

    .. attribute:: data_encipherment

        :type: bool

        This purpose is set to true 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 purpose is set to true 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 purpose is set to true.

    .. attribute:: key_cert_sign

        :type: bool

        This purpose is set to true when the subject public key is used for
        verifying signatures on public key certificates. If this purpose is set
        to true then ``ca`` must be true in the :class:`BasicConstraints`
        extension.

    .. attribute:: crl_sign

        :type: bool

        This purpose is set to true when the subject public key is used for
        verifying signatures on certificate revocation lists.

    .. attribute:: encipher_only

        :type: bool

        When this purposes is set to true and the ``key_agreement`` purpose 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

        When this purposes is set to true and the ``key_agreement`` purpose 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.


.. class:: BasicConstraints

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    Basic constraints is an X.509 extension type that defines whether a given
    certificate is allowed to sign additional certificates and what path
    length restrictions may exist. It corresponds to
    :data:`OID_BASIC_CONSTRAINTS`.

    .. attribute:: ca

        :type: bool

        Whether the certificate can sign certificates.

    .. attribute:: path_length

        :type: int or None

        The maximum path length for certificates subordinate to this
        certificate. This attribute only has meaning if ``ca`` is true.
        If ``ca`` is true then a path length of None means there's no
        restriction on the number of subordinate CAs in the certificate chain.
        If it is zero or greater then it defines the maximum length for a
        subordinate CA's certificate chain. For example, a ``path_length`` of 1
        means the certificate can sign a subordinate CA, but the subordinate CA
        is not allowed to create subordinates with ``ca`` set to true.

.. class:: ExtendedKeyUsage

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    This extension indicates one or more purposes for which the certified
    public key may be used, in addition to or in place of the basic
    purposes indicated in the key usage extension. The object is
    iterable to obtain the list of :ref:`extended key usage OIDs <eku_oids>`.

.. class:: OCSPNoCheck

    .. versionadded:: 1.0

    This presence of this extension indicates that an OCSP client can trust a
    responder for the lifetime of the responder's certificate. CAs issuing
    such a certificate should realize that a compromise of the responder's key
    is as serious as the compromise of a CA key used to sign CRLs, at least for
    the validity period of this certificate. CA's may choose to issue this type
    of certificate with a very short lifetime and renew it frequently. This
    extension is only relevant when the certificate is an authorized OCSP
    responder.

.. class:: NameConstraints

    .. versionadded:: 1.0

    The name constraints extension, which only has meaning in a CA certificate,
    defines a name space within which all subject names in certificates issued
    beneath the CA certificate must (or must not) be in. For specific details
    on the way this extension should be processed see :rfc:`5280`.

    .. attribute:: permitted_subtrees

        :type: list of :class:`GeneralName` objects or None

        The set of permitted name patterns. If a name matches this and an
        element in ``excluded_subtrees`` it is invalid. At least one of
        ``permitted_subtrees`` and ``excluded_subtrees`` will be non-None.

    .. attribute:: excluded_subtrees

        :type: list of :class:`GeneralName` objects or None

        Any name matching a restriction in the ``excluded_subtrees`` field is
        invalid regardless of information appearing in the
        ``permitted_subtrees``. At least one of ``permitted_subtrees`` and
        ``excluded_subtrees`` will be non-None.

.. class:: AuthorityKeyIdentifier

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    The authority key identifier extension provides a means of identifying the
    public key corresponding to the private key used to sign a certificate.
    This extension is typically used to assist in determining the appropriate
    certificate chain. For more information about generation and use of this
    extension see `RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.1`_.

    .. attribute:: key_identifier

        :type: bytes

        The serial number of the issuer's issuer.

.. class:: SubjectKeyIdentifier

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    The subject key identifier extension provides a means of identifying
    certificates that contain a particular public key.

    .. attribute:: digest

        :type: bytes

        The binary value of the identifier.

.. class:: SubjectAlternativeName

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    Subject alternative name is an X.509 extension that provides a list of
    :ref:`general name <general_name_classes>` instances that provide a set
    of identities for which the certificate is valid. The object is iterable to
    get every element.

    .. method:: get_values_for_type(type)

        :param type: A :class:`GeneralName` provider. This is one of the
            :ref:`general name classes <general_name_classes>`.

        :returns: A list of values extracted from the matched general names.

        .. doctest::

            >>> from cryptography import x509
            >>> from cryptography.hazmat.backends import default_backend
            >>> from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes

            >>> ext.value.get_values_for_type(x509.DNSName)
            [u'www.cryptography.io', u'cryptography.io']


.. class:: IssuerAlternativeName

    .. versionadded:: 1.0

    Issuer alternative name is an X.509 extension that provides a list of
    :ref:`general name <general_name_classes>` instances that provide a set
    of identities for the certificate issuer. The object is iterable to
    get every element.

    .. method:: get_values_for_type(type)

        :param type: A :class:`GeneralName` provider. This is one of the

        :type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

        The access method defines what the ``access_location`` means. It must
        be either :data:`OID_OCSP` or :data:`OID_CA_ISSUERS`. If it is
        :data:`OID_OCSP` the access location will be where to obtain OCSP
        information for the certificate. If it is :data:`OID_CA_ISSUERS` the
        access location will provide additional information about the issuing
        certificate.

    .. attribute:: access_location

        :type: :class:`GeneralName`

        Where to access the information defined by the access method.

.. class:: CRLDistributionPoints

        This field describes methods to retrieve the CRL. At most one of
        ``full_name`` or ``relative_name`` will be non-None.

    .. attribute:: relative_name

        :type: :class:`Name` or None

        This field describes methods to retrieve the CRL relative to the CRL
        issuer. At most one of ``full_name`` or ``relative_name`` will be
        non-None.

    .. attribute:: crl_issuer

        :type: list of :class:`GeneralName` instances or None

        Information about the issuer of the CRL.

        revocation checks.

.. class:: ReasonFlags

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    An enumeration for CRL reasons.

    .. attribute:: unspecified

        It is unspecified why the certificate was revoked. This reason cannot
        be used as a reason flag in a :class:`DistributionPoint`.

    .. attribute:: key_compromise

        This reason indicates that the private key was compromised.

        When an attribute authority has been compromised.

    .. attribute:: remove_from_crl

        This reason indicates that the certificate was on hold and should be
        removed from the CRL. This reason cannot be used as a reason flag
        in a :class:`DistributionPoint`.

.. class:: InhibitAnyPolicy

    .. versionadded:: 1.0

    The inhibit ``anyPolicy`` extension indicates that the special OID
    :data:`OID_ANY_POLICY`, is not considered an explicit match for other
    :class:`CertificatePolicies` except when it appears in an intermediate
    self-issued CA certificate.  The value indicates the number of additional
    non-self-issued certificates that may appear in the path before
    :data:`OID_ANY_POLICY` is no longer permitted.  For example, a value
    of one indicates that :data:`OID_ANY_POLICY` may be processed in
    certificates issued by the subject of this certificate, but not in
    additional certificates in the path.

    .. attribute:: skip_certs

        :type: int

.. class:: CertificatePolicies

Certificate Policies Classes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These classes may be present within a :class:`CertificatePolicies` instance.

.. class:: PolicyInformation

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    Contains a policy identifier and an optional list of qualifiers.

    .. attribute:: policy_identifier

        :type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

    .. attribute:: policy_qualifiers

        :type: list

        A list consisting of :term:`text` and/or :class:`UserNotice` objects.
        If the value is text it is a pointer to the practice statement
        published by the certificate authority. If it is a user notice it is
        meant for display to the relying party when the certificate is
        used.

.. class:: UserNotice

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    User notices are intended for display to a relying party when a certificate
    is used. In practice, few if any UIs expose this data and it is a rarely
    encoded component.

    .. attribute:: notice_reference

        :type: :class:`NoticeReference` or None

        The notice reference field names an organization and identifies,
        by number, a particular statement prepared by that organization.

    .. attribute:: explicit_text

        This field includes an arbitrary textual statement directly in the
        certificate.

        :type: :term:`text`

.. class:: NoticeReference

    Notice reference can name an organization and provide information about
    notices related to the certificate. For example, it might identify the
    organization name and notice number 1. Application software could
    have a notice file containing the current set of notices for the named
    organization; the application would then extract the notice text from the
    file and display it. In practice this is rarely seen.

    .. versionadded:: 0.9

    .. attribute:: organization

        :type: :term:`text`

    .. attribute:: notice_numbers

        :type: list

        A list of integers.

Object Identifiers

    typically seen in X.509 names.

.. data:: OID_EMAIL_ADDRESS

    Corresponds to the dotted string ``"1.2.840.113549.1.9.1"``. This OID is
    typically seen in X.509 names.

Signature Algorithm OIDs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. data:: OID_RSA_WITH_MD5
