## Object Hierarchy

      GInterface
       +----GcrCertificateIface

## Prerequisites

GcrCertificateIface requires GObject.

## Known Implementations

GcrCertificateIface is implemented by GcrSimpleCertificate.

## Description

This is an interface that represents an X509 certificate. Objects can implement this interface to make a certificate usable with the GCR library.

You can use GcrSimpleCertificate to simply load a certificate.
