As far as I'm aware, X509 is just a file format for a certificate, not a
protocol. I believe that if you were to support these types of certificates,
you would have to support every encryption/digital signature/MAC algorithm
that X509 does. I think mcrypt should be sufficient for most of those
algorithms.
As for the X509 format itself, check the RFC (I don't know where to find
this -- you should try google.com).
