GenCert generates certificate files in a given path.

path       - Path to generate the certificate in.
certFile   - Certificate file to generate.
keyFile    - Key file to generate.
host       - Comma-separated hostnames and IPs to generate a certificate for.
validFrom  - Creation date formatted as Jan 1 15:04:05 2011. Default is empty string which means now.
validFor   - Duration that certificate is valid for. Default is 365*24*time.Hour.
isCA       - Flag whether this cert should be its own Certificate Authority.
rsaBits    - Size of RSA key to generate. Ignored if ecdsa-curve is set. Default is 2048.
ecdsaCurve - ECDSA curve to use to generate a key. Valid values are P224, P256, P384, P521 or empty string (not set).
