!!Why you won't find much [X509] information on the [InterNet]
The [X509] standard was developed by the [ITU-T] which changes money for version of the standard, rather than making them freely avaliable over the InterNet. This is not a problem if you work for a big telecommunications company which has the resources to get you a copy of the standard, but can be a significant barrier to entry for smaller players and OpenSource developers. This may be a reason for the lack of [X509] support in the open source world, expecially compared to things like [OpenPGP] and other freely avaliable standards.
+__Breaking news!__ the ITU is allowing you to download any 3 specifications per year for free. Which is great since things like [X509] rely on other standards, but by 2033 you may have enough information! :)
