If its DER encoded you can use d2i_X509 see
http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#PROG3 for general info.
If its PEM or DER you can use a BIO. This isn't difficult at all and you
can treat BIO just like a FILE for this application. If you do:
BIO *buf = BIO_new_mem_buf(buffer, len);
then pass the BIO to the PEM or d2i_X509_bio() function it should work.
