class Certificate
Deno compatibility
The methods are non-functional stubs.
SPKAC is a Certificate Signing Request mechanism originally implemented by
Netscape and was specified formally as part of HTML5's keygen element.
<keygen> is deprecated since HTML 5.2 and new projects
should not use this element anymore.
The node:crypto module provides the Certificate class for working with SPKAC
data. The most common usage is handling output generated by the HTML5 <keygen> element. Node.js uses OpenSSL's SPKAC
implementation internally.

#exportChallenge(spkac: BinaryLike): Buffer deprecated
#exportPublicKey(spkac: BinaryLike,encoding?: string,): Buffer deprecated
#verifySpkac(spkac: ArrayBufferView): boolean deprecated
Static Methods #
#exportChallenge(spkac: BinaryLike): Buffer const { Certificate } = await import('node:crypto');
const spkac = getSpkacSomehow();
const challenge = Certificate.exportChallenge(spkac);
console.log(challenge.toString('utf8'));
// Prints: the challenge as a UTF8 string
#exportPublicKey(spkac: BinaryLike,encoding?: string,): Buffer const { Certificate } = await import('node:crypto');
const spkac = getSpkacSomehow();
const publicKey = Certificate.exportPublicKey(spkac);
console.log(publicKey);
// Prints: the public key as <Buffer ...>
#verifySpkac(spkac: ArrayBufferView): boolean import { Buffer } from 'node:buffer';
const { Certificate } = await import('node:crypto');
const spkac = getSpkacSomehow();
console.log(Certificate.verifySpkac(Buffer.from(spkac)));
// Prints: true or false
