<p>Each authentication method is associated with a key exchange method, and a credentials type. 
The contents of the credentials is method-dependent, e.g. certificates
for certificate authentication and should be initialized and associated
with a session (see <a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fcredentials_005fset">gnutls_credentials_set</a>).  A mapping of the key exchange methods
with the credential types is shown in <a href="#tab_003akey_002dexchange_002dcred">Table 6.2</a>.
