Before you generate a new private key, you may have to first create an encrypted database. The password for this encrypted database is used to encrypt the private key, which you need to protect. Use a key generation tool that your IT department approves. Complete the following steps to generate a new private key:

1. Open your key generating software and click New Key.
2. Name the new key.
3. From the drop-down lists, select a Keytype of RSA, and a Keysize of 2048 bit.
4. Click Create and the new key appears in your list of Private Keys.
5. Select the private key you created and select Export.
   Note: Export the private key in PEM format.
6. Click OK and save the file. This is the file you use when Adding a private key and certificate to the SBH.
