I am trying to follow below link so i can able to implement crypto using node js then i saw SPKAC  there i am confused about the SPKAC so i tried to figure out here "what SPKAC exactly".
https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html


'The crypto module provides cryptographic functionality that includes a set of wrappers for OpenSSL's hash, HMAC, cipher, decipher, sign, and verify functions'.

Further, 'SPKAC is a Certificate Signing Request mechanism originally implemented by Netscape and was specified formally as part of HTML5's keygen element'.


Everything is explained in the link you have posted.
This is not related to cryptocurrencies. It is used for cryptographical functions (requesting, signing, verifying, ... signatures/authentication codes/etc.. ).
