self-signed CA.
## Purpose
- This script will always produce a self-signed x509 certificate in the
current path with the IP addresses embedded to x509's SAN.
This script will always produce a self-signed x509 certificate with the IP
addresses embedded to x509's SAN.
It will also produce a CA certificate and can be used by other services
which may need to authenticate against this self-signed certificate.
The authentication works in a way that a public CA certificate will be
used by the client in order to validate the server's certificate.
## Application
### Backend requiring x509 running behind reverse proxy
- This script has been created in order to ease the Minio's SSE-C
This script has been created in order to ease the Minio's SSE-C
(Server Side Encryption - Customer provided keys) enablement when
Minio server is running as a backend behind a reverse proxy like Traefik.
Minio server enables SSE-C only when it detects the x509 certificates.
Traefik running with docker service provider talks to the backend using
the IP. The IP usually is not static, hence this script comes handy.

## Notes

- The x509 certs are ECDSA with prime256v1 curve and SHA256 signatures
