=head1 DESCRIPTION
This function checks if certificate I<subject> was issued using CA
certificate I<issuer>. This function takes into account not only
matching of issuer field of I<subject> with subject field of I<issuer>,
but also compares B<authorityKeyIdentifier> extension of I<subject> with
B<subjectKeyIdentifier> of I<issuer> if B<authorityKeyIdentifier>
present in the I<subject> certificate and checks B<keyUsage> field of
I<issuer>.
=head1 RETURN VALUE
Function return B<X509_V_OK> if certificate I<subject> is issued by
I<issuer> or some B<X509_V_ERR*> constant to indicate an error.
