Suggestion: Support X509Certificate within hash module

[getspooky]

The new X509Certificate(buffer) is an inbuilt constructor of class X509Certificate within hash module which is used to provide a PEM encoded X509 Certificate.

Syntax:

const cert = Deno.readFileSync("public-cert.pem");
new X509Certificate(cert);
// getting subject included in this certificate.
// by using x509.subject function
const value = x509.subject
// display the result
console.log("subject :- " + value)

Output:

subject :- C=IN
ST=Westbengal
L=Kolkata
O=Panco, Inc.
CN=Rohit Prasad
emailAddress=rofofof@gmail.com

Specification

• x509.ca: Type: <boolean> Will be true if this is a Certificate Authority (ca) certificate.
• x509.checkEmail(email[, options]): Checks whether the certificate matches the given email address.
• x509.checkHost(name[, options]): Checks whether the certificate matches the given host name.
