Generate a self-signed certificate on the fly

I edited the answer to do the root certificate first and then issue an end entity certificate. Here is some example of generating a self-signed certificate through Bouncy Castle: public static X509Certificate2 GenerateSelfSignedCertificate(string subjectName, string issuerName, AsymmetricKeyParameter issuerPrivKey, int keyStrength = 2048) { // Generating Random Numbers var randomGenerator = new CryptoApiRandomGenerator(); var random = … Read more

Exporting a Certificate as BASE-64 encoded .cer

Perhaps /// <summary> /// Export a certificate to a PEM format string /// </summary> /// <param name=”cert”>The certificate to export</param> /// <returns>A PEM encoded string</returns> public static string ExportToPEM(X509Certificate cert) { StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); builder.AppendLine(“—–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—–“); builder.AppendLine(Convert.ToBase64String(cert.Export(X509ContentType.Cert), Base64FormattingOptions.InsertLineBreaks)); builder.AppendLine(“—–END CERTIFICATE—–“); return builder.ToString(); }

How does an SSL certificate chain bundle work?

The original order is in fact backwards. Certs should be followed by the issuing cert until the last cert is issued by a known root per IETF’s RFC 5246 Section 7.4.2 This is a sequence (chain) of certificates. The sender’s certificate MUST come first in the list. Each following certificate MUST directly certify the one … Read more

Generate X509Certificate from byte[]?

Sure. The certificate objects can be created by an instance of CertificateFactory – in particular, one configured to create X509 certificates. This can be created like so: CertificateFactory certFactory = CertificateFactory.getInstance(“X.509”); Then you need to pass it an InputStream containing the bytes of the certificate. This can be achieved by wrapping your byte array in … Read more
