Overview

Certificate provides functionality to make it easy to extract information from a Certificate. 

This also provides all the same functionality as a Verifier.

end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(method) ⇒ Object

Any methods defined in Name can be used here. This means you can do cert.email rather than cert.subject.email.

#valid?(time = Time.now.utc) ⇒ Boolean

Is this certificate valid at this point in time. Note this only checks if it is valid with respect to time.

It is important to realize that it does not check with any CRL or OCSP services to see if the certificate was 
revoked.

Returns:
