A 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. + +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. + +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 attributes), X509_EXTENSION (to express a certificate +extension) and a few more. + +Finally, there's the supertype X509_INFO, which can contain a CRL, a +certificate and a corresponding private key. + +BI<...>, BI<...> and BI<...> handle X.509 +certificates, with some exceptions, shown below. + +BI<...>, BI<...> and BI<...> +handle X.509 CRLs. + +BI<...>, BI<...> and BI<...> +handle PKCS#10 certificate requests. + +BI<...> handle certificate names. + +BI<...> handle certificate attributes. + +BI<...> handle certificate extensions. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2003-2017 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
