When working with PKI-based security solutions one typically requires one or more X.509 Certificates. These are typically purchased from well known Certification Authorities, such a Verisign, for a fair amount of money. It is not perhaps widely known that one can create a perfectly functional X.509 Certificate and use it in PKI-based solutions by oneself, free of charge and valid for an arbitrary amount of time. This document discusses the use of the OpenSSL software in creation of private PKI objects such as Key Pairs and X.509 Certificates and PKCS#12 Keystores. It discusses the use of Windows-based scripts, developed by the author, that make the process painless and quick.

This document discusses the use of cryptographic software and manipulation of cryptographic objects. Using or discussing cryptography software is illegal in some parts of the world. It is you responsibility to ensure that you comply with any import/export and use laws that apply to you.
