Apr 12, 2020 When we create private key for Root CA certificate, we have an option to either use encryption for private key or create key without any encryption. Cities xl platinum activation key generator. As if we choose to create private key with encryption such as 3DES, AES then you will have to provide a passphrase every time you try to access the private key. To create a new Private Key without a passphrase. # openssl genrsa -out www.example.com.key 4096 To create a new password protected Private Key (Remember the passphrase) # openssl genrsa -des3 -out www.example.com.key.password 4096 To remove the passphrase from the password protected Private Key. OpenSSL does use a salt by default, which improves things, but the algorithm it uses is 'somewhat' questionable. The default hash function used in it is MD5, and it only uses just a few rounds by default. So, if possible, I would very highly recommend you generate a real key instead of using a passphrase.
