Modification on creating openssl self signed server certificate to generate RSA key in 4096 bits for improved defense against brute force attacks. Additionally, changed key/crt file names to identify with electrum-stratis-server in case the user creates them in a folder with other keys.
Improve Security of SSL Cert, change over to aes256 4096-bit encryption due to des3 being outdated: AES is the successor of DES as standard symmetric encryption algorithm for US federal organizations. AES uses keys of 128, 192 or 256 bits, although, 128 bit keys provide sufficient strength today. ... DES is the previous "data encryption standard" from the seventies. Its key size is too short for proper security.
