Load Base64-encoded X.509 Certificate (.cer)

Loads a digital certificate from a base64 encoded DER X.509 Certificate (.cer, .crt) and fetches information about the cert. Unicode C++

#include <CkCertW.h>

    // LoadFromFile will load virtually any certificate format file.
    // It will auto-recognize the format and load appropiately.
    // A base64-encoded DER X.509 certificate file
    // contains the binary DER in base64 encoded form.
    // Therefore, it is a text file that will begin like this:
    // -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
