        Python library to convert X.509 certificates to and from W3C XML Signature KeyInfo structures
        
        
        Description
        ===========
        
        This 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 from *cryptography.x509.certificate* objects. For XML, the module 
        is based on the *lxml* library.  (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 are two functions:
         * 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.
        
        If you want to parse KeyInfo structures, your code needs to parse the XML data using lxml. You can
        then use the *from_keyinfo(keyinfo)* function to create a *cryptography.x509.certificate* object.
        
        Validation
        ==========
        
        When loading certificates from KeyInfo, 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 the next release of cryptography that will
        provide this functionality.
        
        Tests and Examples
        ==================
        
        The *tests* subdirectory has a complete test suite and *tests/data* has sample KeyInfo and PEM files 
        used by the tests.
