It does not read or write files, it expects or returns file contents or partial file contents as binaries.

Prerequisites -

It is assumed that the reader has a basic understanding - of the concepts of using public keys and digital certificates.

+

It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the Erlang programming + language and has a basic understanding of the concepts of using public-keys + and digital certificates.

- Performance tips -

The public_key decode and encode functions will try to use the NIFs - which are in the ASN1 compilers runtime modules if they can be found. - So for the best performance you want to have the ASN1 application in the - path of your system.
