/**
 * A set of credentials.
 *
 * Contains private keys, shared keys and different kinds of certificates.
 * Enumerators are used because queries might return multiple matches.
 * Filter parameters restrict enumeration over specific items only.
 * See credential_manager_t for an overview of the credential framework.
 *
 * A credential set enumerator may not block the credential set, i.e. multiple
 * threads must be able to hold multiple enumerators, as the credential manager
 * is highly parallelized. The best way to achieve this is by using shared
 * read locks for the enumerators only. Otherwise deadlocks will occur.
 * The writing cache_cert() routine is called by the manager only if no
 * enumerator is alive, so it is save to use a write lock there.
