pyksef 0.1.0

KSeF Authentication library

Python KSeF XAdES Authentication

Supported features:

• Authentication using private keys available through PKCS#11 interface:
  • Qualified signature or qualified seal issued on a physical device,
  • KSeF Certificate hosted on a HSM (e.g. YubiHSM, YubiKey, Google Cloud KMS).
• Authentication using certificate and private key stored as PEM files on local hard disk.

pip3 install pyksef
