The CSR Generator is a Go package that provides functionality for generating Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) and private keys. It simplifies the process of creating CSRs with specified common names and Subject Alternative Names (SANs).
- Generate CSRs with specified common names and SANs
- Generate corresponding ECDSA private keys
- Return CSRs and private keys in PEM format
- Private CAs that rely on domain and DNS names (e.g,
Google Cloud Private CAs)
Note
Private CAs that rely on domain and DNS names can be used for Enterprise/DevOps/DevSecOps/Zero Trust purposes.
Example:
The generated CSRs and private keys can be used with private CAs like Google Cloud Private CAs. Additionally, they can be bound to Cloudflare for the root CAs (e.g., Custom Origin Store, Custom CAs) for front-end usage.
- Public CAs that rely on domain and DNS names
- Support other elliptic curves (currently, only the P-256 curve is supported)
- Implement a configuration file for default values and settings
- Provide a web-based user interface for generating CSRs
