X.509 Signature Splicing Library
x509-signature-splice is a Go library for creating an X.509 certificate with a user-supplied signature, instead of creating a signature from a user-supplied private key. It is designed to be used in situations where a certificate template and a signature are available separately, but the private key is not available. One example of such a situation is the dehydrated certificate system used by Namecoin for TLS.
