## Implementing and Registering a Cryptographic Module

The routines in an application's cryptographic module make up the lowest level of functionality in the certification mechanism. Each module consists of a set of (at most) five routines, the most important of which are its sign( ) and verify( ) routines. (Note, however, that the sign( ) routine is not mandatory.)
