`Class for post-handshake certificate checking.`

Classes

class Checker
`` | `This class is passed to a handshake function to check the other party's certificate chain. If a handshake function completes successfully, but the Checker judges the other party's certificate chain to be missing or inadequate, a subclass of L{tlslite.errors.TLSAuthenticationError} will be raised. Currently, the Checker can check either an X.509 or a cryptoID chain (for the latter, cryptoIDlib must be installed).`
| Methods defined here: __call__(self, connection) `Check a TLSConnection. When a Checker is passed to a handshake function, this will be called at the end of the function. @type connection: L{tlslite.TLSConnection.TLSConnection} @param connection: The TLSConnection to examine. @raise tlslite.errors.TLSAuthenticationError: If the other party's certificate chain is missing or bad.` __init__(self, cryptoID=None, protocol=None, x509Fingerprint=None, x509TrustList=None, x509CommonName=None, checkResumedSession=False) `Create a new Checker instance. You must pass in one of these argument combinations: - cryptoID[, protocol] (requires cryptoIDlib) - x509Fingerprint - x509TrustList[, x509CommonName] (requires cryptlib_py) @type cryptoID: str @param cryptoID: A cryptoID which the other party's certificate chain must match. The cryptoIDlib module must be installed. Mutually exclusive with all of the 'x509...' arguments. @type protocol: str @param protocol: A cryptoID protocol URI which the other party's certificate chain must match. Requires the 'cryptoID' argument. @type x509Fingerprint: str @param x509Fingerprint: A hex-encoded X.509 end-entity fingerprint which the other party's end-entity certificate must match. Mutually exclusive with the 'cryptoID' and 'x509TrustList' arguments. @type x509TrustList: list of L{tlslite.X509.X509} @param x509TrustList: A list of trusted root certificates. The other party must present a certificate chain which extends to one of these root certificates. The cryptlib_py module must be installed. Mutually exclusive with the 'cryptoID' and 'x509Fingerprint' arguments. @type x509CommonName: str @param x509CommonName: The end-entity certificate's 'CN' field must match this value. For a web server, this is typically a server name such as 'www.amazon.com'. Mutually exclusive with the 'cryptoID' and 'x509Fingerprint' arguments. Requires the 'x509TrustList' argument. @type checkResumedSession: bool @param checkResumedSession: If resumed sessions should be checked. This defaults to False, on the theory that if the session was checked once, we don't need to bother re-checking it.`
