Prepare the ssl connection for an initial handshake - either as a server (`Accept
)
or as a client (`Connect
).
Read from the SSL application side.
Use a certificate file, signed by a CA (or self-signed if you prefer) to validate
you are who you say you are. The file will generally end in .crt
.
The 'type' is the encoding of your certificate file. You should know this!
For servers, use a private key key
for securing communications.
> openssl genrsa -out server.key 4096 # generates a key called server.key
The file will generally end in .key
.
