What is a subject key identifier?
The subject key identifier is an extension stored in the certificate with an arbitrary identifier which is unique to this public key and makes it efficient for systems that want to validate a signature to identify which public key to use, either for CA certificates when doing path construction or for other purposes.
What is X509v3 authority key identifier?
“X509v3 Authority Key Identifier” or “authorityKeyIdentifier” is an X509v3 extension that’s added to X509 certificates and identifies the CA that signed the Certificate. I suppose that this speeds up the certificate validation process by eliminating multiple checks.
What is certificate Extended Key Usage?
Extended key usage This extension indicates one or more purposes for which the certified public key may be used, in addition to or in place of the basic purposes indicated in the key usage extension. In general, this extension will appear only in end entity certificates.
What is certificate identifier?

What’s the difference between subject key identifier and sha1fingerprint?
My intuition is that the subjectKeyIdentifier is the hash of the public-key of the certificate and the sha1Fingerprint is the hash of the overall fields of the certificate. This reference says about the subjectKeyIdentifier:
What’s the difference between a certificate and a subject key identifier?
Answer Wiki. The subject key identifier is an extension stored in the certificate with an arbitrary identifier which is unique to this public key and makes it efficient for systems that want to validate a signature to identify which public key to use, either for CA certificates when doing path construction or for other purposes.
What does x509certificate some information relates to?
X509Certificates Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here. Defines a string that identifies a certificate’s subject key identifier (SKI). This class cannot be inherited.
What’s the difference between skid and subject key identifier?
The subject key identifier (SKID) is an x509 extension and thus actually part of the certificate. The fingerprint instead is not part of the certificate but instead computed from the certificate. A certificate does not need to have an SKID at all and can have at most one SKID.
