Key Generation

The Key Generation settings generate a private key. You must create a private key before a
certificate can be requested, as the request uses this private key. Fields in this section are as follows:
Key filename
A name for the private key. The filename must be prefixed with priv and have a .pem extension.
Key size
The size of the private key, in bits. The larger the key, the more secure the connection. But also,
the larger the key, the slower the connection. The key size can be one of the following:
