- Generate a private key and encrypt the output file using AES256:
`openssl genpkey -algorithm {{rsa|ec}} -out {{private.key}} -aes256`
- Generate the corresponding public key from private key `private.key` using `rsa`:
`openssl rsa -in {{private.key}} -pubout -out {{public.key}}`
- Generate a self-signed certificate valid for a specified number of days (`365`):
`openssl req -new -x509 -key {{private.key}} -out {{certificate.crt}} -days {{365}}`
- Convert certificate to `pem` or `der` format:
`openssl x509 -in {{certificate.crt}} -out {{certificate.pem|certificate.der}} -outform {{pem|der}}`
- Check certificate details:
`openssl x509 -in {{certificate.crt}} -text -noout`
- Generate a certificate signing request (CSR):
`openssl req -new -key {{private.key}} -out {{request.csr}}`
