Author Samples of X.509 certificates

Hello,
does anybody know where I can find simple samples of X.509 certificates? I
would like to create certficates und verify certifate chains, but i am not
sure how to develop certificates, because I don't know which things in a
certficate are important and which things are not important. I have a code
sampel, but it is too complicated to understand. So I try to find simple
samples. My certificate should contain the name of the owner, the name of
the trustcenter, which has signed the certficate, the RSA-key of the owner,
DSA-Key of the owner and the digital sign of the trustcenter. The
certificate should be expandable. I mean I can add additional
information(like: the date, at which the certificate was signed.).

You can generate as many samples as you want if you get OpenSSL, or Sun's keytool or keytoolGUI.

Try Googling for any of those.
