* Package name : python-pyhanko-certvalidator * URL : https://github.com/MatthiasValvekens/certvalidator * License : Expat Programming Lang: Python Description : Validates X.509 certificates and paths A Python library that offers functionality for validating X.509 digital certificates, which are widely used in security systems such as TLS/SSL, email encryption, PDF signatures, and more. The pyhanko-certvalidator library performs the following main tasks: - Certificate Validation: The library checks the validity of X.509 digital certificates. This includes checking the certificate signature, expiration date, issuing authority (CA), certificate revocation, and other important properties. - Chain of Trust: It helps to build and validate the certificate chain, that is, the sequence of certificates that links a specific certificate to a trusted certification authority (root CA). - CRL (Certificate Revocation Lists) Check: The library checks whether a certificate has been revoked by querying Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) published by certification authorities. - Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) Check: In addition to CRL checking, certvalidator can check the status of a certificate through the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) to determine whether the certificate is still valid. - Custom Expiration Policy: You can configure and apply custom validity policies to meet specific certificate validation requirements. - Extensibility: The library is designed to be extensible and customizable. This is a fork of the python-certvalidator package. I need it in order to package pyhanko.
