@peculiar/x509 is an easy to use TypeScript/Javascript library based on @peculiar/asn1-schema that makes generating X.509 Certificates and Certificate Requests as well as validating certificate chains easy.
npm install @peculiar/x509
https://peculiarventures.github.io/x509/
Every release of @peculiar/x509 will have new build of ./build/x509.js for use in the browser. To get access to module classes use x509 global variable.

In some cases you may want to use a different cryptographic implementation, for example when you want to work with an object that supports a cryptographic algorithm not supported by the platform you are on.
In these cases you can set a custom provider, these providers need to be compatible with the WebCrypto API, for example on NodeJS you can use @peculiar/webcrypto to allow @peculiar/x509 to work the same as it does in browser!
