Challenges

ACME Identifier Validation Challenges.

class acme.challenges.Challenge(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: josepy.json_util.TypedJSONObjectWithFields

ACME challenge.

classmethod from_json(jobj)[source]

Deserialize ACME object from valid JSON object.

Raises:josepy.errors.UnrecognizedTypeError – if type of the ACME object has not been registered.
class acme.challenges.ChallengeResponse(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: acme.mixins.ResourceMixin, acme.mixins.TypeMixin, josepy.json_util.TypedJSONObjectWithFields

ACME challenge response.

class acme.challenges.UnrecognizedChallenge(jobj)[source]

Bases: acme.challenges.Challenge

Unrecognized challenge.

ACME specification defines a generic framework for challenges and defines some standard challenges that are implemented in this module. However, other implementations (including peers) might define additional challenge types, which should be ignored if unrecognized.

Variables:jobj – Original JSON decoded object.
to_partial_json()[source]

Get JSON serializable object.

Returns:Serializable JSON object representing ACME typed object. validate() will almost certainly not work, due to reasons explained in josepy.interfaces.IJSONSerializable.
Return type:dict
classmethod from_json(jobj)[source]

Deserialize ACME object from valid JSON object.

Raises:josepy.errors.UnrecognizedTypeError – if type of the ACME object has not been registered.

Parameters:key_authorization (unicode) –
verify(chall, account_public_key)[source]

Verify the key authorization.

Parameters:
  • chall (KeyAuthorization) – Challenge that corresponds to this response.

Returns:

True iff verification of the key authorization was successful.
Return type:

bool

class acme.challenges.KeyAuthorizationChallenge(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: acme.challenges._TokenChallenge

Challenge based on Key Authorization.

Parameters:
key_authorization(account_key)[source]

Generate Key Authorization.
