Elliptic-curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) is an anonymous key agreement protocol that allows two parties, each having an elliptic-curve
public–private key pair, to establish a shared secret over an insecure channel
Certificate Signing Request
- Below is a step by step process how to generate a CSR (certificate Signing Request) and private key. The validation of CSR and issued Certificates.
- Login to a Unix /Linux based Terminal Server via SSH
- At the Unix Prompt # type the following command
- openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout yourdomain.key -out yourdomain.csr
- Enter the requested information in RED below. Note your yourdomainname.com
- At the end of the process 2 files are generated: yourdomain.csr and yourdomain.key
- Note: your yourdomainname.com yourdomain.csr and yourdomain.key – should all be your actual domain name. Example mydomain.com, mydoman.com.cer, mydomain.com.key
[myname@server01 ~]$ openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout yourdomain.key -out
yourdomain.csr
