X.509

X.509 is a standard for public key infrastructure. cryptography implements X.509 in accordance with RFC 5280, and is principally focused on WebPKI use cases. X.509 certificates are commonly used in protocols like TLS.

In some cases we tolerate divergences from the these specifications, however these should be regarded as exceptional cases.
