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

.. function:: load_pem_x509_certificate(data, backend=None)

.. 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: An optional backend supporting the
        :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.X509Backend`
        interface.

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

.. doctest::

        2

.. function:: load_der_x509_certificate(data, backend=None)

.. 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: An optional backend supporting the
        :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.X509Backend`
        interface.

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

.. function:: load_pem_x509_csr(data, backend=None)

.. 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: An optional backend supporting the
        :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.X509Backend`
        interface.

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

.. doctest::

>>> from cryptography import x509

            certificate is not a known
            :class:`X.509 version <cryptography.x509.Version>`.

.. doctest::

>>> cert.version
            <Version.v3: 2>

.. method:: fingerprint(algorithm)

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

:return bytes: The fingerprint using the supplied hash algorithm, as

.. versionadded:: 1.2

:type: bytes

The DER encoded bytes payload (as defined by :rfc:`5280`) that is hashed
        and then signed by the private key of the certificate's issuer. This
        data may be used to validate a signature, but use extreme caution as
        certificate validation is a complex problem that involves much more
        than just signature checks.

To validate the signature on a certificate you can do the following.
        Note: This only verifies that the certificate was signed with the
        private key associated with the public key provided and does not
        perform any of the other checks needed for secure certificate
        validation. Additionally, this example will only work for RSA public
        keys with ``PKCS1v15`` signatures, and so it can't be used for general
        purpose signature verification.

.. 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. This
        number must uniquely identify the certificate given the issuer.
        `CABForum Guidelines`_ require entropy in the serial number
        to provide protection against hash collision attacks. For more
        information on secure random number generation, see

            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.

            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. This must be ``None`` if
            the ``private_key`` is an
            :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ed25519.Ed25519PrivateKey`
            or an

.. class:: Name

.. versionadded:: 0.8

An X509 Name is an ordered list of attributes. The object is iterable to
    get every attribute or you can use :meth:`Name.get_attributes_for_oid` to
    obtain the specific type you want. Names are sometimes represented as a
    slash or comma delimited string (e.g. ``/CN=mydomain.com/O=My Org/C=US`` or
    ``CN=mydomain.com,O=My Org,C=US``).

Technically, a Name is a list of *sets* of attributes, called *Relative
    Distinguished Names* or *RDNs*, although multi-valued RDNs are rarely
    encountered.  The iteration order of values within a multi-valued RDN is
    preserved.  If you need to handle multi-valued RDNs, the ``rdns`` property
    gives access to an ordered list of :class:`RelativeDistinguishedName`
    objects.

A Name can be initialized with an iterable of :class:`NameAttribute` (the
    common case where each RDN has a single attribute) or an iterable of
    :class:`RelativeDistinguishedName` objects (in the rare case of
    multi-valued RDNs).

.. doctest::

>>> len(cert.subject)
        3
        >>> for attribute in cert.subject:
        ...     print(attribute)

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

.. method:: get_extension_for_class(extclass)

.. versionadded:: 1.1

:param extclass: An extension class.

: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_class(x509.BasicConstraints)
            <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`

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:: TLSFeature(features)

.. versionadded:: 2.1

The TLS Feature extension is defined in :rfc:`7633` and is used in
    certificates for OCSP Must-Staple. The object is iterable to get every
    element.

:param list features: A list of features to enable from the
        :class:`~cryptography.x509.TLSFeatureType` enum. At this time only
        ``status_request`` or ``status_request_v2`` are allowed.

.. attribute:: oid

:type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

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

.. class:: TLSFeatureType

.. versionadded:: 2.1

An enumeration of TLS Feature types.

.. attribute:: status_request

This feature type is defined in :rfc:`6066` and, when embedded in
        an X.509 certificate, signals to the client that it should require
        a stapled OCSP response in the TLS handshake. Commonly known as OCSP
        Must-Staple in certificates.

.. attribute:: status_request_v2

This feature type is defined in :rfc:`6961`. This value is not
        commonly used and if you want to enable OCSP Must-Staple you should
        use ``status_request``.

.. 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`_.

.. attribute:: oid

.. versionadded:: 1.0

.. class:: InhibitAnyPolicy(skip_certs)

.. versionadded:: 1.0

The inhibit ``anyPolicy`` extension indicates that the special OID
    :attr:`~cryptography.x509.oid.CertificatePoliciesOID.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
    :attr:`~cryptography.x509.oid.CertificatePoliciesOID.ANY_POLICY` is no
    longer permitted.  For example, a value of one indicates that
    :attr:`~cryptography.x509.oid.CertificatePoliciesOID.ANY_POLICY` may be
    processed in certificates issued by the subject of this certificate, but
    not in additional certificates in the path.

    :rfc:`5280`.

.. attribute:: oid

:type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

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

.. attribute:: require_explicit_policy

:type: int or None

If this field is not None, the value indicates the number of additional
        certificates that may appear in the chain before an explicit policy is
        required for the entire path. When an explicit policy is required, it
        is necessary for all certificates in the chain to contain an acceptable
        policy identifier in the certificate policies extension.  An
        acceptable policy identifier is the identifier of a policy required
        by the user of the certification path or the identifier of a policy
        that has been declared equivalent through policy mapping.

.. attribute:: inhibit_policy_mapping

:type: int or None

If this field is not None, the value indicates the number of additional
        certificates that may appear in the chain before policy mapping is no
        longer permitted.  For example, a value of one indicates that policy
        mapping may be processed in certificates issued by the subject of this
        certificate, but not in additional certificates in the chain.

.. 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)

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

.. versionadded:: 1.2

Invalidity date is an extension that is only valid inside
    :class:`~cryptography.x509.RevokedCertificate` objects. It provides
    the date on which it is known or suspected that the private key was
    compromised or that the certificate otherwise became invalid.
    This date may be earlier than the revocation date in the CRL entry,
    which is the date at which the CA processed the revocation.

:param invalidity_date: The :class:`datetime.datetime` when it is known
        or suspected that the private key was compromised.

.. attribute:: oid

:type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

Returns
        :attr:`~cryptography.x509.oid.CRLEntryExtensionOID.INVALIDITY_DATE`.

.. attribute:: invalidity_date

:type: :class:`datetime.datetime`

OCSP Extensions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: OCSPNonce(nonce)

.. versionadded:: 2.4

OCSP nonce is an extension that is only valid inside
    :class:`~cryptography.x509.ocsp.OCSPRequest` and
    :class:`~cryptography.x509.ocsp.OCSPResponse` objects. The nonce
    cryptographically binds a request and a response to prevent replay attacks.
    In practice nonces are rarely used in OCSP due to the desire to precompute
    OCSP responses at large scale.

.. attribute:: oid

:type: :class:`ObjectIdentifier`

Returns
        :attr:`~cryptography.x509.oid.OCSPExtensionOID.NONCE`.

.. attribute:: nonce
