Creating and Replacing SSL Certificates

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol uses encryption by way of certifi-
cates to provide security for data or information sent over HTTP.
Certificates are digitally signed statements that verify the authenticity of a
server for security purposes. They use two keys; one public key to encrypt
information and one private key to decipher that information.
keytool is a key and certificate management utility that allows you to create
your own public and private keys when you use self-authentication. These
keys and certificates are stored in a keystore file.
