changelog

0.24.0

• x509.Certificate().self_signed will no longer return "yes" under any circumstances. This helps prevent confusion since the library does not verify the signature. Instead a library like oscrypto should be used to confirm if a certificate is self-signed.
• Added various OIDs to x509.KeyPurposeId()
• Added x509.Certificate().private_key_usage_period_value
• Added structures for parsing common subject directory attributes for X.509 certificates, including x509.SubjectDirectoryAttribute()
• Added algos.AnyAlgorithmIdentifier() for situations where an algorithm identifier may contain a digest, signed digest or encryption algorithm OID
• Fixed a bug with x509.Certificate().subject_directory_attributes_value not returning the correct value
• Fixed a bug where explicitly-tagged fields in a core.Sequence() would not function properly when the field had a default value
• Fixed a bug with type checking in pem.armor()

0.23.0

• Backwards compatibility break: the tag_type, explicit_tag and explicit_class attributes on core.Asn1Value no longer exist and were replaced by the implicit and explicit attributes. Field param dicts may use the new explicit and implicit keys, or the old tag_type and tag keys. The attribute changes will likely to have little to no impact since they were primarily an implementation detail.
• Teletex strings used inside of X.509 certificates are now interpreted using Windows-1252 (a superset of ISO-8859-1). This enables compatibility with certificates generated by OpenSSL. Strict parsing of Teletex strings can be retained by using the x509.strict_teletex() context manager.
• Added support for nested explicit tagging, supporting values that are defined with explicit tagging and then added as a field of another structure using explicit tagging.
• Fixed a UnicodeDecodeError when trying to find the (optional) dependency OpenSSL on Python 2
• Fixed next_update field of crl.TbsCertList to be optional
• Added the x509.Certificate.sha256_fingerprint property
• x509.Certificate.ocsp_urls and x509.DistributionPoint.url will now return https://, ldap:// and ldaps:// URLs in addition to http://.
• Added CMS Attribute Protection definitions from RFC 6211
• Added OIDs from RFC 6962

0.22.0

• Fixed a bug with encoding LDAP URLs in x509.URI
• Correct x509.DNSName to allow a leading ., such as when used with x509.NameConstraints
• Fixed an issue with dumping the parsed contents of core.Any when explicitly tagged
• Custom setup.py clean now accepts the short -a flag for compatibility

0.21.1

• Fixed a regression where explicit tagging of a field containing a core.Choice would result in an incorrect header
• Fixed a bug where an IndexError was being raised instead of a ValueError when a value was truncated to not include enough bytes for the header

• Added support for 2.16.840.1.113894.746875.1.1 OID to pkcs12.AttributeType

0.21.0

• Added core.load() for loading standard, universal types without knowing the spec beforehand

• Added asn1crypto.version for version introspection without side-effects
• Added algos.DSASignature
• Fixed a bug with the _header attribute of explicitly-tagged values only containing the explicit tag header instead of both the explicit tag header and the encapsulated value header

0.20.0

• Added support for year 0
• Added the OID for unique identifier to x509.NameType
• Fixed a bug creating the native representation of a core.BitString with leading null bytes

0.19.0

• Force algos.DigestAlgorithm to encoding parameters as Null when the algorithm is sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384 or sha512 per RFC 4055
• Resolved an issue where a BER-encoded indefinite-length value could not be properly parsed when embedded inside of a core.Sequence or core.Set
• Fix x509.Name.build() to properly handle dotted OID type values
• core.Choice can now be constructed from a single-element dict or a two-element tuple to allow for better usability when constructing values from native Python values

0.18.5

0.18.4

• Corrected a side effect in keys.PrivateKeyInfo.wrap() that would cause the original keys.ECPrivateKey structure to become corrupt
• core.IntegerOctetString now correctly encodes the integer as an unsigned value when converting to bytes. Previously decoding was unsigned, but encoding was signed.

• x509.Name.human_friendly now reverses the order of fields when the data in an x509.Name was encoded in most-specific to least-specific order, which is the opposite of the standard way of least-specific to most-specific.
• x509.NameType.human_friendly no longer raises an exception when an unknown OID is encountered
