    Subject: Query : Usage of Certificates

The CertificateFactory in JDK1.2b4 as well as X509Certificate class allows =
methods to read a certificate from their encoding (from a byte[] or an =
inputstream), but doesn't provide interfaces to generate a certificate. =
How does one create an x509 certificate for example, starting with the =
public key to be certified, filling up attribute values for various =
x509Certificate attributes, and finally signing it using a signer?=20

Thanks in anticipation,
