[project]Encrypting data in Transit using SSL

Goals: Enable SSL on a website to transfer data over a secure channel

Steps (create a private key and certificate)

1. Create a server private key named [server.key] with 1024 bit encryption

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024

2. Remove passphrase from RSA private key

openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.pem

3. Create a certificate

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

4. Certificate with signature

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

Steps(edit httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf)

httpd -t > syntax check

After completing these steps above, restarting wamp server is required.

Then, we can see that website with HTTPS/SSL is enabled when we access https://localhost/wordpress
