Create a signing certificate
To create a new signing certificate, you specify the certificate settings and the certificate key settings.
About this task
You can also use the signing certificate to create a CSR.
Security is a function of the combination of algorithm and key size. A larger key size provides higher security but may take longer to sign messages. |
