Hi Vijay

I was thinking about we should store this kind of information on the keystone.
However, I changed my mind after checking keystone API.
The keystone api is very generic, so we can't provider application
specific helper method and validations on that.

The form of certificate is different between applications.
so my current idea is to have a independent resource for certificates
 for each applications.
