Definitons

  • PKI: Public Key Infrastructure
    Security architecture where trust is conveyed through the signature of a trusted CA.

  • CA: Certificate Authority
    Entity issuing certificates and CRLs.

  • TLS: 传输层安全协议 Transport Layer Security的缩写

  • SSL: 安全套接字层 Secure Socket Layer的缩写

  • KEY: 通常指私钥Private key。

  • CSR: 证书签名请求Certificate Signing Request的缩写，可以简单理解成公钥，生成证书时要把这个提交给权威的证书颁发机构。

  • CRT: 证书Certificate的缩写

  • CRL: 证书吊销列表 Certificate Revocation Lists的缩写。

  • X.509: 是一种证书格式。
    对X.509证书来说，认证者总是CA或由CA指定的人，一份X.509证书是一些标准字段的集合，这些字段包含有关用户或设备及其相应公钥的信息。
    X.509的证书文件，一般以.crt结尾，根据该文件的内容编码格式，可以分为以下二种格式：

t- PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail)文本格式,以”—BEGIN—“开头, “—END—“结尾,内容是BASE64编码。Apache和Nginx服务器偏向于使用这种编码格式.

t- DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)二进制格式,不可读.Java和Windows服务器偏向于使用这种编码格式

OpenSSL 相当于SSL的一个实现，如果把SSL规范看成OO中的接口，那么OpenSSL则认为是接口的实现。接口规范本身是安全没问题的，但是具体实现可能会有不完善的地方，比如之前的”心脏出血”漏洞，就是OpenSSL中的一个bug.

Prerequisites

  • You have set up OpenSSL on your machine.
  • You have established a process to sign trusted certificates. If you want to have the certificates signed by a certification authority, you have either established your own certification authority or you use an external certification authority. Alternatively, you can sign the generated certificate yourself.

Procedure

DNS.1 = example.com

DNS.1 = サーバのドメイン名
IP.1 = サーバのIPアドレス

といった流れで参照します。この設定ファイルを -config で指定して CSR を作ると、CSR に X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:エントリが入ります。

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 \
-subj "/C=JP/ST=Saitama/L=Toda/O=Core Micro Systems, Inc./CN=cmsinc.co.jp/[email protected]" \
-config server.conf \
-keyout server.key \
-out server.csr

View CSR details

1
openssl req -noout -text -in /etc/pki/tls/server.csr

2. Signing

  • Submit the CSR to the certification authority.
  • Alternatively, sign the certificate yourself.

File Convert

1. Certificate

openssl x509 -in kvm-bmc.crt -out kvm-bmc.pem

2. Key

Public key or Private key

1
openssl rsa -in kvm-bmc.key -out kvm-bmc-private.pem

CAで発行したサーバ証明書を失効にする方法

1
openssl ca -revoke /etc/pki/CA/newcerts/xxx.pem #replacing the serial number
