X.509 is an ITU-T standard for a `public key infrastructure`_. X.509v3 is
defined in :rfc:`5280` (which obsoletes :rfc:`2459` and :rfc:`3280`). X.509
certificates are commonly used in protocols like `TLS`_.

If ``ca`` is true then a path length of None means there's no
restriction on the number of subordinate CAs in the certificate chain.
