SPKAC is a Certificate Signing Request mechanism originally implemented by Netscape and was specified formally as part of HTML5's
keygenelement.<keygen>is deprecated since HTML 5.2 and new projects should not use this element anymore.The
cryptomodule provides theCertificateclass 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.
