Hi,
Is there any limit on X509 certificate size (like 2K or something) imposed
by standard. Or certificates can be any size. 

thanks

There's no theoritical limit. You can have practical limits though (for
example, if the user decides to store the certificate in a 4k or 8k
smartcard).

Somewhere Peter Gutman has a cert that includes a GIF of his cat.  I
think it's one of the DN components.
