You don't need one. Hidden services automatically get end-to-end
authentication and encryption. Since that is handled by Tor and not by
the browser, hidden service addresses use "http" rather than "https",
but in this case the connection is nevertheless encrypted. It's
technically redundant to add HTTPS. A few hidden services have added an
HTTPS cert but I think that's mostly for a publicity stunt than anything
else.
