48 .B WARNING: This details the current behavior of Mono and could change between releases.
49 The only safe way to interact with certificate stores is to use the certmgr
50 tool. The current releases of Mono keeps all the user certificate stores in
51 separates directories under
54 For example the trusted root certificates for a user would be kept under
55 .I ~/.mono/certs/Trust/
57 Certificates files are kept in DER (binary) format (extension .cer).

63 (subject key identifier).
65 The rest of the filename is the base64-encoded value (tbp or ski).
