support keys/certificates?

It would be awesome if node-keytar would also support X.509-related things (key management) in OSX keychain.

I'd expand this and ask for this type of support x-platform, not just OSX. The key management solutions for Linux and Windows support x509 as well. If this isn't implemented by the time I get around to utilizing this in my app (probably a few months off), I could at look into doing a PR for Windows support, and maybe Gnome-Keyring as long as my boss doesn't mind, but Mac would be out of my reach.

Any update on this?

I'm currently writing an Electron app (POC) that uses mutual TLS and it would be awesome to store the certs/keys into all the platforms. I think the idea would be to import the cert and key after the installation is complete and then just access the keystore to get this info when making network requests. Currently i'm just storing them encrypted in the users directory.
