| Simon Butcher | 5b331b9 | 2016-01-03 16:14:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | * The X.509 module provides X.509 support for reading, writing and verification |
| 16 | * of certificates. |
| 17 | * In summary: |
| 18 | * - X.509 certificate (CRT) reading (see \c mbedtls_x509_crt_parse(), |
| 19 | * \c mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der(), \c mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_file()). |
| 20 | * - X.509 certificate revocation list (CRL) reading (see |
| 21 | * \c mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(), \c mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der(), |
| 22 | * and \c mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_file()). |
| 23 | * - X.509 certificate signature verification (see \c |
| 24 | * mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() and \c mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile(). |
| 25 | * - X.509 certificate writing and certificate request writing (see |
| 26 | * \c mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() and \c mbedtls_x509write_csr_der()). |

| 28 | * This module can be used to build a certificate authority (CA) chain and |
| Paul Bakker | dcbfdcc | 2013-09-10 16:16:50 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | * verify its signature. It is also used to generate Certificate Signing |
| Simon Butcher | 5b331b9 | 2016-01-03 16:14:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 30 | * Requests and X.509 certificates just as a CA would do. |
