Before a digital certificate can be signed by a Certificate Authority (CA), it needs to
be created. The generation of a certificate involves creating a Certificate Signing
Request (CSR). The CSR includes various information related to the device and a
public key. The public key is included in the CSR file itself and the private key
associated with the public key is generated separately and kept private. The CSR
can then be exported to a remote device to be signed by a CA.
