             Summary: Add support for the creation of signed certificates.
                 Key: ELY-131
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-131
             Project: WildFly Elytron
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: SSL
            Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
            Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
             Fix For: 1.0.0.Beta1


Whilst the standard Java APIs support the creation of public and private keys these APIs do not have a mechanism for creating a signed certificate.

The latest RFC describing the format of these certificates is here: -
  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5280/

Essentially this is about DER encoding of a number of fields combined with signing.

The alternative could to being in something like bouncy castle.
