int	wc_InitCert(Cert * ) This function initializes a default cert, with the default options: version = 3 (0x2), serial = 0, sigType = SHA_WITH_RSA, issuer = blank, daysValid = 500, selfSigned = 1 (true) use subject as issuer, subject = blank.
Cert *	wc_CertNew(void * heap) This function allocates a new Cert structure for use during cert operations without the application having to allocate the structure itself. The Cert structure is also initialized by this function thus removing the need to call wc_InitCert(). When the application is finished using the allocated Cert structure wc_CertFree() must be called.
void	wc_CertFree(Cert * cert) This function frees the memory allocated for a cert structure by a previous call to wc_CertNew().
int	wc_MakeCert(Cert * cert, byte * derBuffer, word32 derSz, RsaKey * rsaKey, ecc_key * eccKey, WC_RNG * rng) Used to make CA signed certs. Called after the subject information has been entered. This function makes an x509 Certificate v3 RSA or ECC from a cert input. It then writes this cert to derBuffer. It takes in either an rsaKey or an eccKey to generate the certificate. The certificate must be initialized with wc_InitCert before this method is called.
int	wc_MakeCertReq(Cert * cert, byte * derBuffer, word32 derSz, RsaKey * rsaKey, ecc_key * eccKey) This function makes a certificate signing request using the input certificate and writes the output to derBuffer.

It uses wc_CreatePKCS8Key and wc_EncryptPKCS8Key to do this.
void	wc_InitDecodedCert(struct DecodedCert * cert, const byte * source, word32 inSz, void * heap) This function initializes the DecodedCert pointed to by the "cert" parameter. It saves the "source" pointer to a DER-encoded certificate of length "inSz." This certificate can be parsed by a subsequent call to wc_ParseCert.
int	wc_ParseCert(DecodedCert * cert, int type, int verify, void * cm) This function parses the DER-encoded certificate saved in the DecodedCert object and populates the fields of that object. The DecodedCert must have been initialized with a prior call to wc_InitDecodedCert.

int	wc_SetTimeCb(wc_time_cb f) This function registers a time callback that will be used anytime wolfSSL needs to get the current time. The prototype of the callback should be the same as the "time" function from the C standard library.
time_t	wc_Time(time_t * t) This function gets the current time. By default, it uses the XTIME macro, which varies between platforms. The user can use a function of their choosing instead via the wc_SetTimeCb function.
int	wc_SetCustomExtension(Cert * cert, int critical, const char * oid, const byte * der, word32 derSz) This function injects a custom extension in to an X.509 certificate. note: The content at the address pointed to by any of the parameters that are pointers must not be modified until the certificate is generated and you have the der output. This function does NOT copy the contents to another buffer.
int	wc_SetUnknownExtCallback(DecodedCert * cert, wc_UnknownExtCallback cb) This function registers a callback that will be used anytime wolfSSL encounters an unknown X.509 extension in a certificate while parsing a certificate. The prototype of the callback should be:
int	wc_CheckCertSigPubKey(const byte * cert, word32 certSz, void * heap, const byte * pubKey, word32 pubKeySz, int pubKeyOID) This function verifies the signature in the der form of an X.509 certificate against a public key.

    // Logic to parse extension goes here.

    // NOTE: by returning zero, we are accepting this extension and
    // informing wolfSSL that it is acceptable. If you find an extension
    // that you do not find acceptable, you should return an error. The
    // standard behavior upon encountering an unknown extension with the
    // critical flag set is to return ASN_CRIT_EXT_E. For the sake of
    // brevity, this example is always accepting every extension; you
    // should use different logic.
