verify-x509: A minimalistic X.509 certificate validator

verify-x509 is a minimalistic implementation of X.509 certificate validation logic. It is intended for use with applications and protocols that use X.509 PKI without TLS/SSL. Its features are:

  • Certificate chain building to the Mozilla trust store
  • Point-in-time validation of not-before/not-after constraints
  • Plugin architecture for X.509 extension processing
  • Offline operation (while OCSP responses and CRLs can be passed by the caller, verify-x509 makes no network calls)

verify-x509 implements elements of the following RFCs RFC 5280

Installation

pip install verify-x509
