> Serial numbers on certificates should be unique.  CertificateUtils currently 
> uses System.currentTimeMillis() to generate them.
> Proposed solution:
> 1. Use the current time in millis as the most significant part of the serial 
> number
> 2. Shift it left 32 bits to make room in the BigInteger for an incrementor 
> value
> 3. Add the incrementor value to the BigInteger
> 4. Reset the incrementor every time a the generator function is called and 
> the millisecond is different from before
