For certificates DER format is more efficient. Also look at the -C
option for the 'x509' utility. You can also use the d2i_*() functions to
read from a DER encoded array (see FAQ) you can also convert binary
files to arrays using the Unix xxd utility.
For PEM files in strings you can use a memory BIO: see BIO_s_mem()
manual pages.
