rsa.generate_private_key(65537, 2048) Generate RSA 2048-bit private key
x509.CertificateSigningRequestBuilder() Build a PKCS#10 CSR
.subject_name(x509.Name([...])) Set CSR subject
.add_extension(SubjectAlternativeName(...)) Add SAN extension
.sign(private_key, hashes.SHA256()) Sign CSR with private key

cryptography Library - Certificate Parsing

Method Description
x509.load_pem_x509_certificate(data) Parse PEM certificate
x509.load_der_x509_certificate(data) Parse DER certificate
cert.subject Get subject Distinguished Name
cert.issuer Get issuer Distinguished Name
cert.not_valid_after_utc Expiration datetime
cert.serial_number Certificate serial number
cert.extensions.get_extension_for_oid(OID) Get specific extension
