🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so PKCS12_add_localkeyid() adds an octet string representation of the PKCS#9 localKeyId attribute to a PKCS#12 safeBag. that's it, that's the lore. 💖

and then — the plot twist — bag is the PKCS12_SAFEBAG you're adding that attribute to. she's the main character here, the one getting the glow-up. 👑

ngl it's giving "small function, big responsibility". the way that a safeBag can just have a key id now? slay. ✨
