[Mono-dev] Adding privatekey support to X509Store

[Vladimir Giszpenc]

Hi Pablo,

Your interest in improving Mono's CryptoServiceProvider offerings is
very exciting.  Your experience seems to be leading you towards an
OpenSSL binding of some kind.  May I suggest that you at least review
other cryptographic providers like Mozilla's Network Security Services
(NSS) or the Free Software Foundation's GnuTLS as well.  I lack your
experience so will defer to your better judgment but I known that Linux
Standard Base 4.0 [1], Red Hat and Fedora are actively trying to reduce
the number their use of OpenSSL and converge on NSS [2].
