Creates an X.509 certificate, and signs it using the given key
(associating a signature algorithm and an X.500 name).
This operation is used to implement the certificate generation
functionality of a certificate authority.
@param key the private key used for signing.
@param algorithm the name of the signature algorithm used.
@param provider the name of the provider.
@exception NoSuchAlgorithmException on unsupported signature
algorithms.
@exception InvalidKeyException on incorrect key.
@exception NoSuchProviderException on incorrect provider.
@exception SignatureException on signature errors.
@exception CertificateException on encoding errors.
