Generate your own. pfx Digital Certificate

Generate your own. pfx Digital Certificate

Memo:

@ REM is automatically created using vs2005. pfx digital certificates are only valid for one year by default, and both the "issuer" and "issued to" are combinations of the current machine name and current Login User name. In fact, we can create more friendly. pfx digital certificate.

@ REM open the SDK Command Prompt for Microsoft. NET Framework, follow these steps:

@ REM 1: Create a self-Signed X.509 Certificate (. CER) and A. PVK private key file. Use the makecert tool. The command is as follows:

Makecert-r-n "cn = dksoft"-B 01/01/2008-e 01/01/2010-SV mykey. PVK mykey. Cer

@ REM follow the prompts to set the private key password (or do not use the password) to generate related files in the current directory.

@ REM 2: Use X.509 Certificate (. CER) to create a issuer certificate (. SPC) and use the cert2spc tool. The command is as follows:

Cert2spc mykey. Cer mykey. SPC

@ REM 3. Slave. PVK and. convert the SPC format. the pfx format uses pvk2pfx (C:/program files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/common7/tools/bin). The command is as follows:

Pvk2pfx-PVK mykey. PVK-SPC mykey. SPC-pfx mykey. pfx-Pi password-F

Common digital certificate formats and file extensions

PKCS stands for public-key cryptography standards. It is a series of standards developed by the RSA lab and other security system developers to Promote the Development of public key cryptography. PKCS has published 15 standards. Commonly used:
PKCS #7 cryptographic message syntax Standard
PKCS #10 certification request Standard
PKCS #12 Personal Information Exchange syntax Standard

X.509 is a common certificate format. All certificates comply with ITU-T X509 International Standards for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI.

PKCS #7 common suffixes:. p7b. p7c. SPC
PKCS #12 common suffixes include. p12. pfx
The suffix of X.509 DER encoding (ASCII) is. Der. Cer. CRT.
The suffix of X.509 Pam encoding (base64) is. pem. Cer. CRT.

In OpenSSL toolset, you can use-outform-inform to specify der or Pam format. For example:
OpenSSL X509-in CERT. pem-inform PEM-out cert. Der-outform der

To convert PEM to PKCS #12 in OpenSSL, refer to the command:
OpenSSL PKCS12-export-in CERT. pem-out cert. p12-inkey key. pem

For the conversion from PKCS #12 to PEM in OpenSSL, refer:
OpenSSL PKCS12-in CERT. p12-out key. pem
OpenSSL X509-in key. pem-text-out cert. pem
