# OpenSSL Wizard
2+
3+
A simple GUI to help you with common certificate related tasks.
4+
5+
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2375486/74975484-1f25b000-544d-11ea-8f72-337e063bceda.png)
6+
7+
## Get it
8+
9+
Download a copy from the the Releases section.
10+
11+
You will need to have `openssl.exe` present in the `PATH` of your system. If you're not sure how, you can always put `openssl-wizard` in the same folder as `openssl`.
12+
13+
## Sections
14+
15+
### RSA Key
16+
17+
Generate an RSA key of specified length, and encrypted with a passphrase or unencrypted. The key length and encryption method may be chosen.
18+
19+
### ECDSA Key
20+
21+
Generate an Elliptic Curve DSA key using the specified elliptic curve, and encrypted with a passphrase or unencrypted. The key length is fixed for the chosen curve.
22+
23+
### Root CA
24+
25+
Generates a new Root Certificate Authority (Root CA) key and self-signs it in one operation. Both a certificate (public key) and private key are generated. You can choose the digest algorithm, the certificate validity and other extended parameters.
26+
27+
### Self-Sign CA
28+
29+
Generates a Root Certificate Authority by signing an existing private key to give you a self-signed certificate. You can choose the digest algorithm, the certificate validity and other extended parameters.
30+
31+
### Issue CSR
32+
33+
Generates a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for an existing private key. You can choose the digest algorithm, and other extended parameters. This CSR can be sent to your signing authority to have it signed and generate your SSL certificate.
34+
35+
### New CSR
36+
37+
Generates a new private key and a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for that key. You can choose the digest algorithm, and other extended parameters. This CSR can be sent to your signing authority to have it signed and generate your SSL certificate.
38+
39+
### Sign
40+
41+
If you have a CSR, you can now generate a signed certificate for it. You will also need the private key and public key of the authority that you want to sign with. You can choose the validity, and other extended parameters.
42+
43+
### Convert
44+
45+
You can convert certificates from various container formats to one another.
46+
47+
### Combine
48+
49+
You can combine a private key and a public key (certificate) into a single container.
50+
51+
Currently only PCKS#12 is supported as the output format.
