+## X.509 - Public Key Infrastructure purely in OCaml
+
+v1.0.6
+X.509 is a public key infrastructure used mostly on the Internet.  It consists
+of certificates which include public keys and identifiers, signed by an
+authority.  Authorities must be exchanged over a second channel to establish the
+trust relationship.  This library implements most parts of
+[RFC5280](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280) and
+[RFC6125](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6125). The
+[Public Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKCS)
+defines encoding and decoding in ASN.1 DER and PEM format, which is also
+implemented by this library - namely PKCS 1, PKCS 7, PKCS 8, PKCS 9 and PKCS 10.
