# QGIS Test Certificates/Keys
Since 2021 the test certificates are generated by a script in `certs_keys_2048`
directory because the old certificates were using 1024 keys that are not
accepted by openssl anymore.
The test certificates are generated by scripts in the `cert_keys` and `certs_keys_2048`
directories.
## Old certificates
The following paragraphs describe the old certificates implementation.
The certs/keys are generated/edited using **XCA** (see xca-project directory):
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xca/
The Java keystore files are generated/edited using **KeyStore Explorer**:
http://keystore-explorer.sourceforge.net/
The default password for the encrypted XCA project and Java keystore files is
**password**. The certificate signing structure can be reviewed in
`cert_hierarchy_8bit.png`.
The default password for the keystore files is **password**. The certificate signing
structure can be reviewed in `cert_hierarchy_8bit.png`.
**WARNING**: These components are just for testing and should _NOT_ be used
in a production environment.
