To create a new Self-Signed SSL Certificate, use the openssl req command:

openssl req -newkey rsa:4096
-x509
-sha256
-days 3650
-nodes
-out example.crt
-keyout example.key

-newkey rsa:4096 - Creates a new certificate request and 4096 bit RSA key. The default one is 2048 bits.

-x509 - Creates a X.509 Certificate.

-sha256 - Use 265-bit SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm).

-days 3650 - The number of days to certify the certificate for. 3650 is ten years. You can use any positive integer.

-nodes - Creates a key without a passphrase.

-out example.crt - Specifies the filename to write the newly created certificate to. You can specify any file name.

-keyout example.key - Specifies the filename to write the newly created private key to. You can specify any file name.
