Detailed Description

Third Milestone - x.509 Certificates

From now on, milestones may get harder. For this milestone, you will create two Certificates. The first one for the Root Certification Authority and the second is for yourself. The Root CA's certificate is self signed, meaning it will use its own Private Key to sign its certificate. Your certificate will be signed by the Root CA's Private Key as well. You should read about Public Key Infrastructure to better understand about this next task.

• Define serial and commonName variables as instructed below;
  
• Implement the setCommonName function using RNDSequence;
  
• Implement the createCertificates function;
  
• Use CertificateBuilder from Libcryptosec to build and sign the certificates;
  
• Write both certificates to file using PEM format;
  -paths::userCertificatePath;
  -paths::rootCaCertificatePath;
  
• Certificates must have Subject, Issuer, Serial, NotBefore, NotAfter and a public key.

Tips: The Subject of a x.509 certificate is a sequence of fields {Common Name, Country, Organization, ...}. For this milestone, you need only to add the Common Name entry to the data structure (RDNSequence).

The Issuer of a certificate is the subject of the certificate used to sign it. For a ROOT Certification Authority, the issuer is its own subject. For you certificate, the issuer will be the subject of the Root CA.

The NotBefore and NotAfter fields are used to determine whetheri the certificate is valid or not.
