Certitude: Platform-Specific TLS Certificate VerificationΒΆ

Certitude provides Python bindings to the Windows and OS X system-native TLS certificate libraries. This allows Python programs to validate TLS certificates using the exact same logic used by native browsers on those platforms (e.g. Safari and Internet Explorer/Edge).

This means that by combining Certitude with the OpenSSL used by default on most Linuxes and BSDs, it is possible for a Python program to perform certificate validation in a platform-native manner on all major operating systems. This lets a Python program behave like a full native citizen of whatever platform it is installed on.

This documentation discusses how to use Certitude.
