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.
