Purpose
This application provides an API to public key infrastructure
from RFC
5280 (X.509 certificates) and public key formats defined by
the PKCS-standard
Prerequisites
It is assumed that the reader 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.
