# RSA private key, SSL certificate, Diffie-Hellman bits files
# -------------------------------------------
# Create an RSA private key, a self-signed SSL certificate, and some
# Diffie-Hellman cipher bits, if they have not yet been created.
#
# The RSA private key and certificate are used for:
#
# * DNSSEC DANE TLSA records
# * IMAP
# * SMTP (opportunistic TLS for port 25 and submission on ports 465/587)
# * HTTPS
#
# The certificate is created with its CN set to the PRIMARY_HOSTNAME. It is
# also used for other domains served over HTTPS until the user installs a
# better certificate for those domains.
#
# The Diffie-Hellman cipher bits are used for SMTP and HTTPS, when a
# Diffie-Hellman cipher is selected during TLS negotiation. Diffie-Hellman
# provides Perfect Forward Secrecy.

# The key is only as good as the entropy available to openssl so that it
# can generate a random key. "OpenSSLs built-in RSA key generator ....
# is seeded on first use with (on Linux) 32 bytes read from /dev/urandom,
# the process ID, user ID, and the current time in seconds. [During key
# generation OpenSSL] mixes into the entropy pool the current time in seconds,
# the process ID, and the possibly uninitialized contents of a ... buffer
# ... dozens to hundreds of times."
#
# A perfect storm of issues can cause the generated key to be not very random:
#
# * improperly seeded /dev/urandom, but see system.sh for how we mitigate this
# * the user ID of this process is always the same (we're root), so that seed is useless
# * zero'd memory (plausible on embedded systems, cloud VMs?)
# * a predictable process ID (likely on an embedded/virtualized system)
# * a system clock reset to a fixed time on boot
#
# Since we properly seed /dev/urandom in system.sh we should be fine, but I leave
# in the rest of the notes in case that ever changes.
