[af15528]1A libabac keystore is a simple directory filled with some number of X509
2identity and X509 attribute certificates. It may optionally include RSA
3private keys.
4
5X509 identity certs are identified as files whose names end in _ID.der
6or _ID.pem. The part before the _ID.pem is irrelevant, though for the
7sake of convneince the libabac credential manager gives it the name of
[3a867a1]8the CN you supplied. If the optional private key file is available, it
9would be stored in _private.der or _private.pem with the same prefix as
10the matching id file.
11
12A new combined identity and private key cert format is implemented.
13It is a single file whose name ends in _IDKEY.der or _IDKEY.pem.
14The identity and private key informations are stored sequentially within
15the file in any order. If either part is missing, libabac will handle
16accordingly and properly.

18X509 attribute certs are identified as files whose names end in
19_attr.der. The portion before the _attr.der is irrelevant.
