Service Identity Verification for pyOpenSSL¶
Release v16.0.0 (What’s new?).
TL;DR: Use this package if you use pyOpenSSL and don’t want to be MITMed.
service_identity aspires to give you all the tools you need for verifying whether a certificate is valid for the intended purposes.
In the simplest case, this means host name verification.
However, service_identity implements RFC 6125 fully and plans to add other relevant RFCs too.
service_identity’s documentation lives at Read the Docs, the code on GitHub.
