+     \brief This function allocates a new Cert structure for use during
+     cert operations without the application having to allocate the structure
+     itself. The Cert structure is also initialized by this function thus
+     removing the need to call wc_InitCert(). When the application is finished
+     using the allocated Cert structure wc_CertFree() must be called.
+
+     \return pointer If successful the call will return a pointer to the
+     newly allocated and initialized Cert.
+     \return NULL On a memory allocation failure.
+
+     \param A pointer to the heap used for dynamic allocation. Can be NULL.
+
+     _Example_
+     \code
+     Cert*   myCert;
+
+     myCert = wc_CertNew(NULL);
+     if (myCert == NULL) {
