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`.

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.

.. 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

    This corresponds to a registered ID.

    .. attribute:: value

        :type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

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 that number defines the maximum length.
        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:: 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

        A value derived from the public key used to verify the certificate's
        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.

.. 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.


Object Identifiers
