[clug] X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo fields

[jm]

I've been using the python cryptography library to manipulate X509 
certs. The Subject field appears to be OIDs similar to that used in 
SNMP, ie, ASN.1

see
https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/blob/main/docs/x509/reference.rst

Hope that helps,
Jeff.
