.\&quot; Set up some character translations and predefined strings.  \*(-- will
.\&quot; give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L&quot; will give a left
.\&quot; double quote, and \*(R&quot; will give a right double quote.  \*(C+ will
.\&quot; give a nicer C++.  Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
.\&quot; therefore won't be available.  \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
.\&quot; nothing in troff, for use with C&lt;&gt;.

x509 \- X.509 certificate handling

.SH &quot;DESCRIPTION&quot;
.IX Header &quot;DESCRIPTION&quot;
A X.509 certificate is a structured grouping of information about
an individual, a device, or anything one can imagine.  A X.509 \s-1CRL\s0
(certificate revocation list) is a tool to help determine if a
certificate is still valid.  The exact definition of those can be
found in the X.509 document from ITU-T, or in \s-1RFC3280\s0 from \s-1PKIX.\s0
In OpenSSL, the type X509 is used to express such a certificate, and
the type X509_CRL is used to express a \s-1CRL.\s0
.PP
A related structure is a certificate request, defined in PKCS#10 from
\&amp;\s-1RSA\s0 Security, Inc, also reflected in \s-1RFC2896.\s0  In OpenSSL, the type
X509_REQ is used to express such a certificate request.
.PP
To handle some complex parts of a certificate, there are the types
X509_NAME (to express a certificate name), X509_ATTRIBUTE (to express
a certificate attributes), X509_EXTENSION (to express a certificate
extension) and a few more.
.PP
Finally, there's the supertype X509_INFO, which can contain a \s-1CRL,\s0 a
certificate and a corresponding private key.
.PP
\&amp;\fBX509_\fR\fI...\fR, \fBd2i_X509_\fR\fI...\fR and \fBi2d_X509_\fR\fI...\fR handle X.509
certificates, with some exceptions, shown below.
.PP
\&amp;\fBX509_CRL_\fR\fI...\fR, \fBd2i_X509_CRL_\fR\fI...\fR and \fBi2d_X509_CRL_\fR\fI...\fR
handle X.509 CRLs.
.PP
\&amp;\fBX509_REQ_\fR\fI...\fR, \fBd2i_X509_REQ_\fR\fI...\fR and \fBi2d_X509_REQ_\fR\fI...\fR
handle PKCS#10 certificate requests.
.PP
\&amp;\fBX509_NAME_\fR\fI...\fR handle certificate names.
.PP
\&amp;\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_\fR\fI...\fR handle certificate attributes.
.PP
\&amp;\fBX509_EXTENSION_\fR\fI...\fR handle certificate extensions.
