Creating certificates

Christian Hohnstädt's XCA freeware program is useful for creating certificates. Using this pro-
gram makes it easy to create X.509 certificates as well as the necessary private keys.
You can download the program from
it in Windows in the usual way (run the .exe file).
When you launch XCA for the first time, a new database has to be created to manage the certifi-
cates. To do this, click „File" and then „New DataBase"

After choosing a name, file save location and password for the database, you can open it and start creating
a root (CA) certificate.
