+ * @addtogroup x509_module X.509 module
+ * 
+ * The X.509 module provides X.509 support which includes:
+ * - X.509 certificate (CRT) reading (see \c x509parse_crt() and
+ *   \c x509parse_crtfile()).
+ * - X.509 certificate revocation list (CRL) reading (see \c x509parse_crl()
+ *   and\c x509parse_crlfile()).
+ * - X.509 (RSA) private key reading (see \c x509parse_key() and
+ *   \c x509parse_keyfile()).
+ * - X.509 certificate signature verification (see \c x509parse_verify())
+ *
+ * This module can be used to build a certificate authority (CA) chain and
+ * verify its signature. It is also used to get a (RSA) private key for signing
+ * and decryption.
