description: >
    Implement to provide certificate management features.

    An OpenBMC implementation providing installed certificate management
    functions. An implementation service should additionally implement
    xyz.openbmc_project.Object.Delete to allow the deletion of individual
    certificate objects.
properties:
    - name: CertificateString
      type: string
      description: >
          The string for the certificate.

          This is a X.509 public certificate in PEM format.
          PEM wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy-Enhanced_Mail

          An X.509 certificate contains a public key, validity, and an
          identity (a hostname, or an organization, or an individual),
          and is either signed by a certificate authority or self-signed.
          Refer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509 for details.
    - name: KeyUsage
      type: array[string]
      description: >
          Key usage extensions define the purpose of the public key contained
          in a certificate.

          Valid Key usage extensions and its usage description is based on
          Redfish Resource and Schema Guide 2018.3 version.

          ClientAuthentication: The public key is used for TLS WWW client
                                authentication.
          CodeSigning: The public key is used for the signing of executable code.
          CRLSigning: The public key is used for verifying signatures on
                      certificate revocation lists (CLRs).
          DataEncipherment: The public key is used for directly enciphering
                            raw user data without the use of an intermediate
                            symmetric cipher.
          DecipherOnly: The public key could be used for deciphering data
                        while performing key agreement.
          DigitalSignature: The public key is used for verifying digital
                            signatures, other than signatures on certificates
                            and CRLs.
          EmailProtection: The public key is used for email protection.
          EncipherOnly: The public key could be used for enciphering data
                        while performing key agreement.
          KeyCertSign: The public key is used for verifying signatures on
                       public key certificates.
          KeyEncipherment: The public key is used for enciphering private or
                           secret keys.
          NonRepudiation: The public key is used to verify digital signatures,
                          other than signatures on certificates and CRLs,
                          and used to provide a non- repudiation service that
                          protects against the signing entity falsely denying
                          some action.
          OCSPSigning: The public key is used for signing OCSP responses.
          ServerAuthentication: The public key is used for TLS WWW server
                                authentication.
          Timestamping: The public key is used for binding the hash of an
                        object to a time.

    - name: Issuer
      type: string
      description: >
          The issuer of the certificate.

          Refer X.509 certificate wiki for the "Issuer" Key and value details.

          Example: C=US, O=DigiCert Inc, CN=DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA
          Here C = country, O=organization, CN= common name.

    - name: Subject
      type: string
      description: >
