Package cryptoIDlib

cryptoIDlib is a python library and command-line tools for working with cryptoID certificate chains. Among other things, it provides client and server implementations of the cryptoID key management protocols.

cryptoIDlib's sister library is TLS Lite. TLS Lite is necessary if you want to use the key management protocols. Also, if you have TLS Lite and cryptoIDlib, you can use cryptoIDs to authenticate in TLS.

To use, do:

   from cryptoIDlib.api import *

Then use the cryptoIDlib.CertChain.CertChain class to parse, validate, or create a cryptoID certificate chain. You can also use the cryptoIDlib.Server.Server class to run key management servers, and the cryptoIDlib.Client.Client class to access key management servers.

Version: 0.3.1
