genCA

The genCA function generates a new, self-signed x509 certificate authority.

It takes the following parameters:

• Subject's common name (cn)
• Cert validity duration in days

It returns an object with the following attributes:

• Cert: A PEM-encoded certificate
• Key: A PEM-encoded private key

Example:

$ca := genCA "foo-ca" 365

Note that the returned object can be passed to the genSignedCert function to sign a certificate using this CA.
