tor-cert

Code for generating x509 certificates.

Overview

For the most part, Tor doesn't actually need x509 certificates. We only keep them around for two purposes:

1. The RSA_ID_X509 certificate is provided in a CERTS cell, and used to transmit the RSA identity key.
2. TLS requires the responder to have an x509 certificate.

This crate is part of Arti, a project to implement Tor in Rust.

See also tor-cert and tor-netdoc::doc::authcert for other kinds of certificates implemented by Tor.
