This section outlines the requirements for root CA certificates.

## subjectName
## Subject

{{!RFC5280}} defines the subjectName field as follows: "The subject field identifies
the entity associated with the public key stored in the subject public key
field." RFC 5280 adds "If the subject is a CA then the subject field MUST be
populated with a non-empty distinguished name matching the contents of the
issuer field in all certificates issued by the subject CA."

Root CA certificates MUST have a non-empty subjectName.

The subjectName MUST contain the commonName, the organizationName, and the countryName attribute and MAY contain an organizationalUnitName attribute.
