/**
* @addtogroup x509_module X.509 module
*
* The X.509 module provides X.509 support for reading, writing and verification
* of certificates.
* In summary:
* - X.509 certificate (CRT) reading (see \c mbedtls_x509_crt_parse(),
* \c mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der(), \c mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_file()).
* - X.509 certificate revocation list (CRL) reading (see
* \c mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(), \c mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der(),
* and \c mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_file()).
* - X.509 certificate signature verification (see \c
* mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() and \c mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile().
* - X.509 certificate writing and certificate request writing (see
* \c mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() and \c mbedtls_x509write_csr_der()).
*
* This module can be used to build a certificate authority (CA) chain and
* verify its signature. It is also used to generate Certificate Signing
* Requests and X.509 certificates just as a CA would do.
