Subject Key Identifier Extension Default

This default populates a subject key identifier extension in the certificate request.
The extension is used to identify certificates that contain a particular public
key—that is, the extension is used to uniquely identify a certificate from among
several that have the same subject name.
For general information about this extension, see "subjectKeyIdentifier" on
page 767.
