    .. method:: serial_number(serial_number)

        Sets the certificate's serial number (an integer).  The CA's policy
        determines how it attributes serial numbers to certificates.  The only
        requirement is that this number uniquely identify the certificate given
        the issuer.

        :param serial_number: Integer number that will be used by the CA to
            identify this certificate (most notably during certificate
            revocation checking). Users are encouraged to use a method of

        :param time: The :class:`datetime.datetime` object (in UTC) that marks the
            activation time for the certificate.  The certificate may not be
            trusted clients if it is used before this time.

    .. method:: not_valid_after(time)

        Sets the certificate's expiration time.  This is the time from which
        clients should no longer trust the certificate.  The CA's policy will
        determine how long the certificate should remain in use.

        :param time: The :class:`datetime.datetime` object (in UTC) that marks the
            expiration time for the certificate.  The certificate may not be
            trusted clients if it is used after this time.

    .. method:: add_extension(extension, critical)

        Adds an X.509 extension to the certificate.

        :param extension: An extension conforming to the
            :class:`~cryptography.x509.ExtensionType` interface.

        :param critical: Set to ``True`` if the extension must be understood and
             handled by whoever reads the certificate.

    .. method:: sign(private_key, algorithm, backend)

        Sign the certificate using the CA's private key.

        :param private_key: The

            :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa.DSAPrivateKey` or
            :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec.EllipticCurvePrivateKey`
            that will be used to sign the certificate.

        :param algorithm: The
            :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.hashes.HashAlgorithm` that
            will be used to generate the signature.

        :param backend: Backend that will be used to build the certificate.
            Must support the
            :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.X509Backend`

        One of the :class:`~cryptography.x509.oid.ExtensionOID` 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:: ExtensionType

    .. versionadded:: 1.0

    This is the interface against which all the following extension types are
    registered.

.. class:: KeyUsage(digital_signature, content_commitment, key_encipherment, data_encipherment, key_agreement, key_cert_sign, crl_sign, encipher_only, decipher_only)

    .. 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.

    .. attribute:: oid

        .. versionadded:: 1.0

        :type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

        Returns :attr:`~cryptography.x509.oid.ExtensionOID.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(ca, path_length)

    .. 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.

    .. attribute:: oid

        .. versionadded:: 1.0

        :type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

        Returns :attr:`~cryptography.x509.oid.ExtensionOID.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(usages)

    .. 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
    :class:`~cryptography.x509.oid.ExtendedKeyUsageOID` OIDs present.

    :param list usages: A list of
        :class:`~cryptography.x509.oid.ExtendedKeyUsageOID` OIDs.

    .. attribute:: oid

        .. versionadded:: 1.0

        :type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

        Returns :attr:`~cryptography.x509.oid.ExtensionOID.EXTENDED_KEY_USAGE`.


.. 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.

    .. attribute:: oid

        .. versionadded:: 1.0

        :type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

        Returns :attr:`~cryptography.x509.oid.ExtensionOID.OCSP_NO_CHECK`.

.. class:: NameConstraints(permitted_subtrees, excluded_subtrees)

    .. 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:: oid

        .. versionadded:: 1.0

        :type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

        Returns :attr:`~cryptography.x509.oid.ExtensionOID.NAME_CONSTRAINTS`.

    .. 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(key_identifier, authority_cert_issuer, authority_cert_serial_number)

    .. 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`_.

        signature.

    .. attribute:: authority_cert_issuer

        :type: :class:`Name` or None

        The :class:`Name` of the issuer's issuer.

    .. attribute:: authority_cert_serial_number

        :type: int or None

        The serial number of the issuer's issuer.

    .. classmethod:: from_issuer_public_key(public_key)

        .. versionadded:: 1.0

        Creates a new AuthorityKeyIdentifier instance using the public key
        provided to generate the appropriate digest. This should be the
        **issuer's public key**. The resulting object will contain
        :attr:`~cryptography.x509.AuthorityKeyIdentifier.key_identifier`, but
        :attr:`~cryptography.x509.AuthorityKeyIdentifier.authority_cert_issuer`
        and
        :attr:`~cryptography.x509.AuthorityKeyIdentifier.authority_cert_serial_number`
        will be None.
        The generated ``key_identifier`` is the SHA1 hash of the ``subjectPublicKey``
        ASN.1 bit string. This is the first recommendation in :rfc:`5280`
        section 4.2.1.2.

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

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

.. class:: PolicyInformation(policy_identifier, policy_qualifiers)

    .. 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(notice_reference, explicit_text)

    .. 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(organization, notice_numbers)

    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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

X.509 elements are frequently identified by :class:`ObjectIdentifier`
instances. The following common OIDs are available as constants.

.. currentmodule:: cryptography.x509.oid

.. class:: NameOID

    These OIDs are typically seen in X.509 names.

    .. versionadded:: 1.0
