Generate a TLS certificate

cd ~
go get -u -v github.com/lu4p/genCert
genCert --help

Usage of genCert:
  -ca
        whether this cert should be its own Certificate Authority
  -duration duration
        Duration that certificate is valid for (default 8760h0m0s)
  -ecdsa-curve string
        ECDSA curve to use to generate a key. Valid values are P224, P256 (recommended), P384, P521
  -host string
        Comma-separated hostnames and IPs to generate a certificate for
  -rsa-bits int
        Size of RSA key to generate. Ignored if --ecdsa-curve is set (default 2048)
  -start-date string
        Creation date formatted as Jan 1 15:04:05 2011

Example Certificate:

genCert --ca --ecdsa-curve P384 --host example.tld

This will result in the PrivateKey key.pem and the TLS-Certificate cert.pem

Note: The PrivateKey should be kept PRIVATE, if the PrivateKey is disclosed an attacker is able to:

• imperson you
• decrypt your traffic
• etc.
