Use this package if you want to verify that a PyCA cryptography certificate is
valid for a certain hostname or IP address, or if you use pyOpenSSL and don’t
want to be MITMed, or if you want to inspect certificates from either for
service IDs. 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.
This is the documentation package for python-service-identity.
