var pems = generate({
name: 'example.com',
city: 'Blacksburg',
state: 'Virginia',
organization: 'Test',
unit: 'Test'
}, {
keySize: 1024, // default

Supports attributes using a simplified syntax.
`js
var generate = require('self-signed');
var pems = generate({
name: 'example.com', // the common name
country: 'US', // default
city: 'Blacksburg',
state: 'Virginia',
organization: 'Test',
unit: 'Test' // the organizational unit (e.g. department)
});
console.log(pems);
`
Supports keySize, serial, expire, alt, pkcs7
`js`
var pems = generate(null, {
keySize: 2048, // defaults to 1024
serial: '329485', // defaults to '01'
expire: new Date('10 December 2100'), // defaults to one year from today
pkcs7: true, // defaults to false, indicates whether to protect with PKCS#7
alt: [] // default undefined, alternate names if array of objects/strings
});
#### Expire
Expire can be specified as:
* a Date object
* a string timestamp to be passed to the Date constructor
* a number representing milliseconds from now
If the expire option matches none of these, it defaults to new Date plus one year.
#### Alternate names
The alt specifies alternate names that apply to the certificate. Currently autodetects IP addresses,
Allowed formats include:
* ['127.0.0.1', 'http://www.example.org']
