Re: Digital Signature and Private Key

I have contacted the manufacturer of my router/gateway and been informed
that I need to create a certificate saved using base64 encoding, is this all
the information I need in order to create a digital certificate and private
key for uploading onto the router/gateway?

And, how do I do this using Windows Server 2003 SP1.

The digital certificate is for use in a private environment and I am can
quite comfortable in using our own server as a Root CA, I just don't know
how to do it.

see below for the full story...

I require a digital signature and private key for uploading onto a
router/gateway in order to provide ssl connectivity for the web interface
of the gateway through which users will log on to gain access to the
Internet.

The digital signature has to have a "CRT" extension and the private key
requires a "KEY" extension.
