You can generate X.509 certificate using OpenSSL.  I converted it into
a byte array manually using regular expressions and ViM.  For more

I don't think this is a question specific to Netty.  Please consult
Javadoc and research about CRL.  You might want to use not-yet-commons
SSL for easier implementation:
