Self signed X.509 certificates with openssl

I had to deal with S/MIME-certificates a lot recently. Even though i conecptionally do know about public key cryptography and certificates I rarely had to deal with openssl. So i took some time and worked through this tutorial by jamielinux.com about creating a private public key infrastructure comprising of a root ca and a intermediary ca. I accompanied my reading with the writing of a shell script that basically is the extraction of the shell script included in the tutorial. To make it run you should also download this file. It consists of the two openssl configuration files mentioned in jamie linux‘ tutorial. Fire up the script and you get a root ca and three intermediary ca’s.

If you are still reading your are propably very interested in certificates and s/mime. I have one more thing to share – I have collected a couple of information about related rfcs and some terminology. The information is partly copied from a stackoverflow answer. Basically a list of who is who in s/mime related rfc’s. Click here to go there.
