X509 #16

Open hohl opened 10 years ago

hohl commented 10 years ago

Add a wrapper for X509 implementation of OpenSSL. This will allows to extract keys from common certificate files.

I need to export and import keys to and from this format :+1:

Supporting X509 is quite a heavy job, since the protocol has a quite broad range of functionality. And since I don't need it for any of my projects progress is going slow. But at least it is already started and basic support for reading and validating most common X509 certificate formats (like PEM) will be available soon.

I know there are quite a couple of people which would be interested in supporting X509 certificates, this is why I am developing while I don't even need it myself. Help is very appreciated if you have some knowledge on X509 and OpenSSLs C API (especially since OpenSSL has nearly 0 documentation). I am going to push my X509 branch soon, but yet not much working. At least MIHCertificate and MIHCertificateStore are defined, which will be the basic protocols.
