What are these?

FNV24 hash: 63DG6

Parameters

version: The X.509 specification version for this certificate.
serialNumber: The serial number of this certificate.
publicKey: The public key associated with this certificate.
notValidBefore: The date before which this certificate is not valid.
notValidAfter: The date after which this certificate is not valid.
issuer: The DistinguishedName of the issuer of this certificate.
subject: The DistinguishedName of the subject of this certificate.
signatureAlgorithm: The signature algorithm that will be used to produce signature. Must be compatible with the private key type.
extensions: The extensions on this certificate.
issuerPrivateKey: The private key to use to sign this certificate.

This API can be used to construct a Certificate directly, without an intermediary Certificate Signing Request. The signature for this certificate will be produced automatically, using issuerPrivateKey.

This API can be used to construct a self-signed key by passing the private key for publicKey as the issuerPrivateKey argument.
