dane-discovery 0.20

A library for using DANE for public key discovery.

A library for using DANE TLSA records for certificate discovery.

Quick Start

Installation

pip install dane-discovery

Load a certificate from DNS and print the PEM representation

from dane_discovery.dane import DANE
from dane_discovery.pki import PKI
dns_name = "dns.name.having.a.tlsa.record"
tlsa_record = DANE.get_first_leaf_certificate(dns_name)
if not tlsa_record:
    raise ValueError("No leaf certificate found for {}.".format(dns_name))

der_cert = PKI.certificate_association_to_der(tlsa_record["certificate_association"])
print(PKI.der_to_pem(der_cert))

Load a DANE identity from DNS and print the request context

from dane_discovery.identity import Identity
dns_name = "dns.name.having.a.tlsa.record"
dane_identity = Identity(dns_name)
print(dane_identity.report())
