Lab:      

7.4.2 Using OpenSSL to   Create a Public/Private Key Pair

In this lab, you will use OpenSSL to create a public/private key pair. OpenSSL is used for secure communication over the network. It works on the exchange of public keys and authentication by a private key.

Completion of 7.4.2 demonstrated the use of openSSL to make a private key and public key pair. Several instructions in the terminal program are executed as a result of this. Once the instructions are executed,   OpenSSL will encrypt the system traffic and exchange private and public   keys.
