9 * The X.509 module provides X.509 support which includes:
10 * - X.509 certificate (CRT) reading (see \c x509parse_crt() and
11 * \c x509parse_crtfile()).
12 * - X.509 certificate revocation list (CRL) reading (see \c x509parse_crl()
13 * and\c x509parse_crlfile()).
14 * - X.509 (RSA) private key reading (see \c x509parse_key() and
15 * \c x509parse_keyfile()).
16 * - X.509 certificate signature verification (see \c x509parse_verify())
17 *
18 * This module can be used to build a certificate authority (CA) chain and
19 * verify its signature. It is also used to get a (RSA) private key for signing
20 * and decryption.
