It is + returned as a `:` separated hexadecimal string.

For + self-signed certificates, this may be a circular reference. + +The certificate may contain information about the public key, depending on +the key type. + +For RSA keys, the following properties may be defined: +* `exponent` {string} The RSA exponent, as a string in hexadecimal number + notation.
