You should be able to find all the necessary information in
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3279.txt and http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3280.txt. Beware that this is quite a bit of work though. You'll
also need some ASN.1/DER parsing capabilities as well.

BTW, this is an essential piece for almost any kind of security solution involving PKI in widespread use today, even SSL won't fly
without it. It would make an extremely worthy open-source project IMO.
