Simon Butcher5b331b92016-01-03 16:14:14 +000054 * The X.509 module provides X.509 support for reading, writing and verification
55 * of certificates.
56 * In summary:
57 * - X.509 certificate (CRT) reading (see \c mbedtls_x509_crt_parse(),
58 * \c mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der(), \c mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_file()).
59 * - X.509 certificate revocation list (CRL) reading (see
60 * \c mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(), \c mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der(),
61 * and \c mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_file()).
62 * - X.509 certificate signature verification (see \c
63 * mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() and \c mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile().
64 * - X.509 certificate writing and certificate request writing (see
65 * \c mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() and \c mbedtls_x509write_csr_der()).
Paul Bakker37ca75d2011-01-06 12:28:03 +000066 *
67 * This module can be used to build a certificate authority (CA) chain and
Paul Bakkerdcbfdcc2013-09-10 16:16:50 +020068 * verify its signature. It is also used to generate Certificate Signing
Simon Butcher5b331b92016-01-03 16:14:14 +000069 * Requests and X.509 certificates just as a CA would do.
