Generating SSL Keys and Certificates With Your Own your own Trusted CA

This section explains the simplified approach of generating the keys and certificates by using the CA.pl (or CA.sh) script that is shipped with OpenSSL tool kit.

Using the CA.pl (or CA.sh) script you can create your private Certificate Authority that you can use in turn to generate new private keys and certificates that are signed by your own private Certificate Authority. Use the CA.pl (perl) or CA.sh (shell) script that is shipped with OpenSSL.
