validation of certificate paths and certificate revocation lists (CRLs) and
other functions for handling of certificates, keys and CRLs.

DEPENDENCIES
The public_key application uses the
Crypto application to perform cryptographic operations and the
ASN-1 application to handle PKIX-ASN-1 specifications, hence
these applications must be loaded for the public_key application to work.
In an embedded environment this means they must be started with
application:start/[1,2] before the public_key application is
started.
ERROR LOGGER AND EVENT HANDLERS
The public_key application is a library application
and does not use the error logger. The functions will either succeed
or fail with a runtime error.
