Paul Bakker | 37ca75d | 2011-01-06 12:28:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | * The X.509 module provides X.509 support which includes: |
| 28 | * - X.509 certificate (CRT) reading (see \c x509parse_crt() and |
| 29 | * \c x509parse_crtfile()). |
| 30 | * - X.509 certificate revocation list (CRL) reading (see \c x509parse_crl() |
| 31 | * and\c x509parse_crlfile()). |
Paul Bakker | dcbfdcc | 2013-09-10 16:16:50 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | * - X.509 (RSA and ECC) private key reading (see \c x509parse_key() and |
| 33 | * \c x509parse_keyfile()). |
Paul Bakker | 37ca75d | 2011-01-06 12:28:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 34 | * - X.509 certificate signature verification (see \c x509parse_verify()) |
