of the certificate.  When the corresponding X509 or X509Req object is
destroyed, this object will be invalid!
</dl>
</EM>
<P><dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-35'><tt class='method'>get_pubkey</tt></a></b>()
<dd>

<dd>
Return the certificate serial number.
</dl>
<P><dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-37'><tt class='method'>get_subject</tt></a></b>()
<dd>

</dl>
<P><dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-47'><tt class='method'>sign</tt></a></b>(<var>pkey, digest</var>)
<dd>
Sign the certificate, using the key <var>pkey</var> and the message digest algorithm
identified by the string <var>digest</var>.
