<p>x509 - X.509 certificate handling</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/x509.h></code></pre>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>An X.509 certificate is a structured grouping of information about an individual, a device, or anything one can imagine. An X.509 CRL (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 RFC3280 from PKIX. In OpenSSL, the type X509 is used to express such a certificate, and the type X509_CRL is used to express a CRL.</p>
<p>A related structure is a certificate request, defined in PKCS#10 from RSA Security, Inc, also reflected in RFC2896. In OpenSSL, the type X509_REQ is used to express such a certificate request.</p>
<p>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 attribute), X509_EXTENSION (to express a certificate extension) and a few more.</p>
<p>Finally, there's the supertype X509_INFO, which can contain a CRL, a certificate and a corresponding private key.</p>
<p><b>X509_</b><i>XXX</i>, <b>d2i_X509_</b><i>XXX</i>, and <b>i2d_X509_</b><i>XXX</i> functions handle X.509 certificates, with some exceptions, shown below.</p>
<p><b>X509_CRL_</b><i>XXX</i>, <b>d2i_X509_CRL_</b><i>XXX</i>, and <b>i2d_X509_CRL_</b><i>XXX</i> functions handle X.509 CRLs.</p>
<p><b>X509_REQ_</b><i>XXX</i>, <b>d2i_X509_REQ_</b><i>XXX</i>, and <b>i2d_X509_REQ_</b><i>XXX</i> functions handle PKCS#10 certificate requests.</p>
<p><b>X509_NAME_</b><i>XXX</i> functions handle certificate names.</p>
<p><b>X509_ATTRIBUTE_</b><i>XXX</i> functions handle certificate attributes.</p>
<p><b>X509_EXTENSION_</b><i>XXX</i> functions handle certificate extensions.</p>
