From: Juliusz Chroboczek <jch@irif.fr> To: galene@lists.galene.org Subject: [Galene] Heads up: Galène generates self-signed certificates Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 20:30:22 +0100 [thread overview] Message-ID: <87mtvtqn5d.wl-jch@irif.fr> (raw) Hi, While fixing https://github.com/jech/galene/issues/13, I implemented automatic generation of self-signed certificates if a certificate is not found in the data/ directory. In short: 1. If you're currently using a real certificate (stored in data/cert.pem and data/key.pem), there's nothing to do. The only difference is that Galène will notice when you update the certificate, and load the new certificate automatically. 2. If you're currently using a self-signed certificate, you may remove it: Galène will notice that there is no certificate, and generate a self-signed certificate in memory (the certificate is never written to disk, as usual in Galène). The self-signed certificate uses 2048-bit RSA, which I understand is compatible with all browsers. I could easily generate ed25519 or P-256 instead, if you understand the crypto please let me know what to do. I've tested that my self-generated certificate works with Chromium and Firefox. Please let me know if you think there's something wrong. -- Juliusz
