Fingerprint of the certificate using the given digest algorithm, e.g.
fingerprint_sha256 if (the default) \s-1SHA\-256\s0 was used. Contrary to digest_* this
is an \s-1ASCII\s0 string with a list if hexadecimal numbers, e.g.
\&\*(L"73:59:75:5C:6D...\*(R".

data (string representation given by X509V3_EXT_print).
.IP "version" 8
.IX Item "version"
Certificate version, usually 2 (x509v3)
.RE

.IP "\(bu" 4
CERT_create(hash) \-> (cert,key)
.Sp
Creates a certificate based on the given hash.
If the issuer is not specified the certificate will be self-signed.
The following keys can be given:
.RS 4
.IP "subject" 8
.IX Item "subject"
Hash with the parts of the subject, e.g. commonName, countryName, ... as
described in \f(CW\*(C`CERT_asHash\*(C'\fR.
Default points to IO::Socket::SSL.
.IP "not_before" 8
.IX Item "not_before"
A time_t value when the certificate starts to be valid. Defaults to current
time.
.IP "not_after" 8
.IX Item "not_after"
A time_t value when the certificate ends to be valid. Defaults to current
time plus one 365 days.
.IP "serial" 8
.IX Item "serial"
The serial number. If not given a random number will be used.
.IP "version" 8
.IX Item "version"
The version of the certificate, default 2 (x509v3).
.IP "\s-1CA\s0 true|false" 8
.IX Item "CA true|false"
If true declare certificate as \s-1CA,\s0 defaults to false.
.IP "purpose string|array|hash" 8
.IX Item "purpose string|array|hash"
Set the purpose of the certificate.
The different purposes can be given as a string separated by non-word character,
as array or hash. With string or array each purpose can be prefixed with '+'
(enable) or '\-' (disable) and same can be done with the value when given as a
hash. By default enabling the purpose is assumed.
.Sp
If the \s-1CA\s0 option is given and true the defaults \*(L"ca,sslca,emailca,objca\*(R" are
assumed, but can be overridden with explicit purpose.
If the \s-1CA\s0 option is given and false the defaults \*(L"server,client\*(R" are assumed.
If no \s-1CA\s0 option and no purpose is given it defaults to \*(L"server,client\*(R".
.Sp
Purpose affects basicConstraints, keyUsage, extKeyUsage and netscapeCertType.
The following purposes are defined (case is not important):

.IP "ext [{ sn => .., data => ... }, ... ]" 8
.IX Item "ext [{ sn => .., data => ... }, ... ]"
List of extensions. The type of the extension can be specified as name with
\&\f(CW\*(C`sn\*(C'\fR or as \s-1NID\s0 with \f(CW\*(C`nid\*(C'\fR and the data with \f(CW\*(C`data\*(C'\fR. These data must be in the
same syntax as expected within openssl.cnf, e.g. something like
\&\f(CW\*(C`OCSP;URI=http://...\*(C'\fR. Additionally the critical flag can be set with
\&\f(CW\*(C`critical =\*(C'\fR 1>.
.IP "key key" 8
.IX Item "key key"
use given key as key for certificate, otherwise a new one will be generated and
returned
.IP "issuer_cert cert" 8

.IX Item "issuer_key key"

Instead of giving issuer_key and issuer_cert as separate arguments they can be
given both together.
.IP "digest algorithm" 8
.IX Item "digest algorithm"
specify the algorithm used to sign the certificate, default \s-1SHA\-256.\s0
