=head2 Subject Key Identifier
This is a string extension with one of two legal values. If it is the word
B<hash>, then OpenSSL will follow the process in RFC 5280 to calculate the
hash value.
Otherwise, the value should be a hex string to output directly, however, this
is strongly discouraged.
This SKID extension is a string with one of two legal values.
If it is the word B<hash>, then OpenSSL will follow
the process specified in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.2. (1):
The keyIdentifier is composed of the 160-bit SHA-1 hash of the value of the BIT
STRING subjectPublicKey (excluding the tag, length, and number of unused bits).
Otherwise, the value must be a hex string (possibly with C<:> separating bytes)
to output directly, however, this is strongly discouraged.

=head2 Authority Key Identifier
This extension has two options, B<keyid> and B<issuer>. Either or both
can have the value B<always>, indicated by putting a colon between
the option and its value.
The AKID extension specification may have the value B<keyid> or B<issuer>
or both of them, separated by C<,>.
Either or both can have the option B<always>,
indicated by putting a colon C<:> between the value and this opton.
If B<keyid> is present, than an attempt is made to copy the subject key
identifier from the parent certificate. If the value B<always> is present,
then an error can be returned if the option fails. If B<issuer> is present,
an attempt is made to copy the issuer and serial number from the parent
certificate. This is done if the B<keyid> option fails, or if B<issuer>
has B<always> specified.
If B<keyid> is present, an attempt is made to copy the subject key identifier
(SKID) from the issuer certificate, which is the default behavior.
If this fails and the option B<always> is present, an error is returned.
For self-issued certs the specification for the SKID must be given before.
If B<issuer> is present and no B<keyid> has been added
or it has the option B<always> specified, then
the issuer DN and serial number are copied from the issuer certificate.
