The root issue is that the RANDFILE variable in the OpenSSL configuration file is ignored on Windows. This has been a long-standing problem that continues to exist as of the OpenSSL v1.0a release, regardless of whether the target Windows platform is x86 or x64. There is a delightfully simple solution, though. May 07, 2014 You probably do not need the -nodes option since it only applies when using openssl to generate a key using the req command. Unable to write 'random state. Openssl pkcs12 -export -out key.pfx -inkey key.pem -in cert.pem -name 'myhost'. Anyone experiences the same issue? Clarification: Question How to fix 'unable to write 'random state' ' in openssl describes different — problem with writing the the.rnd file. Here the problem seems to be generating the random state. (And only in the second.

OpenSSL is great library and tool set used in security related work. While talking security we can not deny that passwords and random numbers are important subjects. In this tutorial we will learn how to generate random numbers and passwords with OpenSSL.

Free Auto-Tune Demo downloads, free Harmony Engine Demo downloads plus free demo downloads for other Antares vocal plug-ins via the free AVOX Demo download. All product demos require an iLok USB key and an iLok account.

Base64 is an encoding format used in applications and different systems which can be transferred and used without problem. Base64 do not provides control characters. We can generate Base64 compatible random numbers with openssl rand . Here we set the character count 10 which is the last parameter.

Hexadecimal is a numbering system based 16 . We can generate Hexadecimal numbers with -hex option. In this example we will generate 20 character random hexadecimal numbers.

The default behaivour of rand is writing generated random numbers to the terminal. If we need a lot of numbers like 256 the terminal will be messed up. We have options to write the generated random numbers. We will use -out option and the file name. In this example we will write a file named myrand.txt

Security experts divide random number generator into two category.

• Truly Random Number Generator (TRNG) where generated umbers are truly random and generally special hardware used.
• Psedeu Random Number Generator (PRNG) where generated numbers are not truly random but near to the random. This types do not requires special hardware and operating systems like Linux,Windows and OpenSSL uses by default this type.

If we have special cryptographic hardware or TRNG engine we can use it with OpenSSL to make random numbers TRNG . We will use -engine option and the device path . Traktor pro 2 create playlist. If our device is locate at /dev/crypt0 we can use following command

Helper scripts to create CA and domain certificates by using OpenSSL and Java keytool

It produces:

• CA private key(password protected): ca/ca.key.pem
• CA certificate: ca/ca.cert.pem
• Domain private key: domain/domain.key.pem
  • We omited the password to prevent entering the password every time a web server(eg, Apache) started.
• Domain certificate: domain/domain.cert.pem
• Domain PKCS12 keystore(password protected): domain/domain.p12
• Domain JKS keystore(password protected): domain/domain.jks

For Linux create_certs.sh, for Windows create_certs.bat files contain OPENSSL, KEYTOOL, PASSWORD and DOMAIN_ALIAS variables. If default values of these variables do not match your needs, you have to update them. In most cases, you will need to change at least PASSWORDand DOMAIN_ALIAS.

You will also need to update alt_names in openssl.cnf

Linux

• Clone the project: git clone https://github.com/kumlali/certificate_generator.git
• Get into certificate_generator/linux directory: cd certificate_generator/linux
• Update alt_names in openssl.cnf
• (Optional) Set OPENSSL, KEYTOOL, PASSWORD and DOMAIN_ALIAS variables in create_certs.sh
• Give execute permission to create_certs.sh: chmod +x create_certs.sh
• Execute create_certs.sh:
