-----------------------------+-----------------
Section 4.2. (“CERTS cells”) of`tor-spec.txt` contains the phrase:
{{{
The certificate format for the above certificate types is X509.
}}}
However, X.509 certificates can be uncoded in a number of different
formats, DER being the one that's used with Tor.
See the attached patch to improve the sentence like this:
{{{
The certificate format for the above certificate types is DER encoded
X509.
}}}
