53X.509 is an ITU-T standard for a `public key infrastructure`_. X.509v3 is
54defined in :rfc:`5280` (which obsoletes :rfc:`2459` and :rfc:`3280`). X.509

Paul Kehrer85894662015-03-22 13:19:31 -0500454 Basic constraints is an X.509 extension type that defines whether a given

Paul Kehrer8cf26422015-03-21 09:50:24 -0500468
469 The maximum path length for certificates subordinate to this
470 certificate. This attribute only has meaning if ``ca`` is true.
471 If ``ca`` is true then a path length of None means there's no
472 restriction on the number of subordinate CAs in the certificate chain.
473 If it is zero or greater then that number defines the maximum length.
474 For example, a ``path_length`` of 1 means the certificate can sign a
475 subordinate CA, but the subordinate CA is not allowed to create
Paul Kehrerfd1444c2015-03-21 19:47:05 -0500476 subordinates with ``ca`` set to true.
