|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### document in progress
|
||
|
|
Still working on this. If you look at the examples and can help, please jump right in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### important cli commands
|
||
|
|
- openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048
|
||
|
|
- openssl req -new -x509 -key server.key -out server.pub -days 365 -config openssl.cnf
|
||
|
|
- openssl req -new -x509 -key client.key -out client.pub -days 365 -config openssl.cnf
|
||
|
|
- talk about openssl.cnf edits
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### using the local node-ipc certs
|
||
|
|
This should **ONLY** be done on your local machine. Both the public and private certs are available here on git hub, so its not a good idea to use them over the network.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### talk about security
|
||
|
|
- keep private keys private, don't share
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### talk about using hostname not ip for best security validation of certs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### examples
|
||
|
|
- basic with default keys
|
||
|
|
- specikfying keys
|
||
|
|
- encrypted but venerable to man in the middle
|
||
|
|
- two way authenticated pub private
