PGP-SSL: SSL Certificates with PGP Key Generation

pgp-ssl is a Node.js CLI tool that generates PGP keys using ECC or RSA and creates SSL certificates for use with Apache or Nginx. It supports Debian, Ubuntu, and CentOS operating systems.

Features

• PGP Key Generation: ECC or RSA.
• Passphrase Protection: Optional encryption of the PGP private key.
• SSL Certificate Creation: Automates configuration for Apache or Nginx.

Installation

Install via npm:

npm install pgp-ssl

Run the tool using npx:

npx pgp-ssl start

Usage

To display the help menu:

npx pgp-ssl help

To generate PGP keys and SSL certificates:

npx pgp-ssl start

You will be prompted for:

• Name (required)
• Email (required)
• Passphrase (optional)
• Domain (required)
• Operating System
• Web Server (Apache or Nginx)
• Key Type (RSA or ECC)

Example:

npx pgp-ssl start

Enter your name: John Doe
Enter your email: [email protected]
Enter a passphrase to protect your private key (leave empty for no passphrase):
Enter the domain for the SSL certificate: example.com
Which operating system are you using? Debian
Which web server are you using? Nginx
Choose key type for SSL certificate: ECC
Choose ECC curve: prime256v1

Dependencies

• Node.js: Requires version 12.x or above.
• OpenPGP.js: For PGP key generation.
• OpenSSL: Used for SSL certificates.

Ensure OpenSSL is installed and accessible via the command line.

Installing OpenSSL

For Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install openssl

For CentOS:

sudo yum install openssl

Security Considerations

• Passphrase Protection: Always use a strong passphrase to protect your PGP private key.
• Certificate Location: Certificates are stored in /etc/ssl/, and configuration files are stored in /etc/apache2/ (for Apache) or /etc/nginx/ (for Nginx).
