Python library to convert X.509 certificates to and from W3C XML Signature KeyInfo structuresDescriptionThis library provides functionlity to convert X.509 certificates to and from W3C XML Signature
KeyInfo structures.For X.509, the module is based on the python “cryptography” module (which in turn is based on OpenSSL).
The keyinfo library converts to and fromcryptography.x509.certificateobjects. For XML, the module
is based on thelxmllibrary.  (Future versions may also use the simpler
ElementTree library).If you want to generate KeyInfo structures, your code needs to use existing functionality in that library
to create certificates, or to load certificates in common file formats like PEM. The keyinfo module then
allows you to convert these certificate objects to KeyInfo XML trees.  Then, using the lxml library, you
can save those trees to file or otherwise process them. There first two export functions are the
following:to_keyinfo_sig1 export to XML Signature version 1.0.  In this case the issuer and serial number are provided.to_keyinfo_sig11 exports to XML Signature version 1.1. In this case SHA256 and SHA512 X509 digests are provided.These functions take either a certificate or a list of certificate objects representing a certificate chain as
parameters.From version 0.4, ff the SHA3 library is availble, additionally SHA3-256 and SHA3-515 digests are provided.The following code show how to load a certificate from a PEM format and save it as a KeyInfo XML file.fromkeyinfoimportkeyinfofromcryptography.x509importload_pem_x509_certificatefromcryptography.hazmat.backendsimportdefault_backendfromlxmlimportetree# set infile, outfilewithopen(infile,'r')asf:data=f.read()cert=load_pem_x509_certificate(data,default_backend())cert_xml=keyinfo.to_keyinfo_sig1(cert)fd=open(outfile,'w')fd.write(etree.tostring(cert_xml,pretty_print=True))fd.close()It turns out theload_pem_x509_certificateactually only loads the first certificate.  To load a chain
from a PEM file, you can useload_pem_x509_certificate_chainfromkeyinfo.fromkeyinfoimportkeyinfofromlxmlimportetree# set infile, outfilewithopen(infile,'r')asf:data=f.read()cert_list=keyinfo.load_pem_x509_certificate_chain(data)cert_xml=keyinfo.to_keyinfo_sig1(cert_list)fd=open(outfile,'w')fd.write(etree.tostring(cert_xml,pretty_print=True))fd.close()If you want to parse KeyInfo structures, your code needs to parse the XML data using lxml. You can
then use thefrom_keyinfo(keyinfo)function to create acryptography.x509.certificateobject.
For backwards compatibility reasons, these functions return the first certificate only.To load the full chain, you can an optionalchainparameter, i.e.from_keyinfo(keyinfo, chain=True).
The result then is a list of certificate objects.ValidationWhen loading certificates from KeyInfo, some consistency checks are done between the X509Digest and
X509Issuerserial element and the X509Certificate objects.  If you want additional certificate validation,
including path validation, you can use pyopenssl or wait for a future release of cryptography that will
provide this functionality.Tests and ExamplesThetestssubdirectory has a complete test suite andtests/datahas sample KeyInfo and PEM files
