 I want to write a small script to decrypt/encrypt/sign emails with the
 X509-protocoll.

 Does anybody know, where to get information about this protocoll ?

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).
