[Cryptography-dev] Processing public key algorithm 'ecdsa-with-SHA256'

[Paul King]

Thanks Alex.

I am now appreciating how good your documentation is!

I am struggling to do a test for the type of public key. In the documentation it shows an example for RSA but I am too stupid to get it to work.


            print cert.public_key()
<cryptography.hazmat.backends.openssl.ec._EllipticCurvePublicKey object at 0x102b5a3d0>

            print type( cert.public_key() )
<class 'cryptography.hazmat.backends.openssl.ec._EllipticCurvePublicKey’>

How do I test for that?
