Sign the certificate request and return its DER encoding. Note that certificate requests must be self signed, i.e. the private key must correspond to the public key used to create this object. Algorithm must be a name or an ObjectId identifying a signature algorithm compatible with the private key. For example, it could be "MD5withRSA" or ASN1.OID_SHA1_WITH_DSA.
