    <title>Introduction to Libksba</title>

    <para>The <application>Libksba</application> package contains a library
    used to make X.509 certificates as well as making the CMS (Cryptographic
    Message Syntax) easily accessible by other applications. Both
    specifications are building blocks of S/MIME and TLS. The library does not
    rely on another cryptographic library but provides hooks for easy
    integration with <application>Libgcrypt</application>.</para>
