DESCRIPTION

14       The  OpenVAS  Scanner  protects its communication with clients by using
15       SSL. SSL requires the scanner to present a certificate to  the  client,
16       and the client can optionally present a certificate to the scanner.
17
18       This  script  openvas-mkcert  creates  a certificate authority (if none
19       exists already) and generates the scanner certificate.
