represent the same object using a class specific comparison. The
implementation in Object returns true only if the argument is the
exact same object as the callee (==).

Returns the public key corresponding to this certificate.
Returns the certificate type.
Returns an integer hash code for the certificate. Any two objects which
return true when passed to equals must return the same
value for this method.
Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the certificate.
Verifies that this certificate was signed with the given public key. It Uses the signature algorithm given by the provider.
