I figured it out.  The easiest thing to do is to download the mono windows installer, and install it.  Then, you'll have "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mono-2.10.9\lib\mono\4.0\Mono.Security.dll" which you can copy to your project (or leave it where it is.)  Add reference to your project - browse to the dll directly.  And then you can "using Mono.Security;" and furthermore, you can go to Start/Programs/Mono/Monodoc.  There you'll find the namespace & classes documented.

In particular, the X509CertificateBuilder class (and friends.)  This is what I was going after.

I'm aware, but it deserves mention, that mono is distributed under various licenses, and it would generally not be advisable to distribute this DLL without considering license compatibility.  But if it were to be installed as a separate "add on" or something like that, complying with the license terms, then it should be ok.
