Certificate Tools

This repository contains solutions that can be used to generate self-signed localhost certificates using various tools.

Solution	Description
Minica	Minica is a simple CA intended for use in situations where the CA operator also operates each host where a certificate will be used. It automatically generates both a key and a certificate when asked to produce a certificate.
Openssl	OpenSSL is a robust, commercial-grade, and full-featured toolkit for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols.
Powershell	Powershell uses New-SelfSignedCertificate to generate self-signed certificates for localhost
