Registry-level CA certificates are an optional feature for additional security; you are not required to use them. (Managing Credentials) If you are choosing to go without Registry-level CA certificates, then follow Option A below else follow Option B route.

Option A - Without Registry CA

Create A Private Key With OpenSSl

#openssl genrsa  -out private_key_filename bits
openssl genrsa  -out private.key 2048

Create A Public Key With OpenSSl

#openssl rsa -in private_key_filename -outform PEM -pubout -out publickey_filename 
openssl rsa -in private.key -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem

The Private Key will be saved as private.key and the public key as public.pem

Option B - With Registry CA

Create A Root CA And its Certificate

#openssl req -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days validity_certificate -newkey rsa:bits -keyout root_key_file -out root_certificate_file
openssl req -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days 1825 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout rootCA.key -out rootCA.crt

Create A Private Key With OpenSSl

#openssl genrsa  -out private_key_filename bits

#openssl rsa -in private_key_filename -outform PEM -pubout -out publickey_filename 
openssl rsa -in private.key -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem

The Private Key will be saved as private.key and the public key as public.pem

Option B - With Registry CA

Create A Root CA And its Certificate

#openssl req -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days validity_certificate -newkey rsa:bits -keyout root_key_file -out root_certificate_file
openssl req -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days 1825 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout rootCA.key -out rootCA.crt

Create A Private Key With OpenSSl

#openssl genrsa  -out private_key_filename bits
openssl genrsa  -out private.key 2048

Create A Signing Request

#openssl req -key private_key_filename -new -out csr_filename
openssl req -key private.key -new -out domain.csr

Sign the Csr With Root CA

#openssl x509 -req -CA root_ca_cert_file -CAkey root_ca_key_file -in csr_filename -out device_cert_filename -days validitiy -CAcreateserial
openssl x509 -req -CA rootCA.crt -CAkey rootCA.key -in domain.csr -out device.crt -days 365 -CAcreateserial

This Step can be skipped if you already have generated keys and certificates using RSA
Registry-level CA certificates are an optional feature for additional security; you are not required to use them. (Managing Credentials) If you are choosing to go without Registry-level CA certificates, then follow Option A below else follow Option B route.

Option A - Without Registry CA

Create A Private Key With OpenSSl

#openssl ecparam  -genkey -name prime256v1 -noout -out file_name
openssl ecparam -genkey -name prime256v1 -noout -out ec_private.key

Create A Public Key With OpenSSl

#openssl ec -in private_key_filename -outform PEM -pubout -out publickey_filename 
openssl ec -in ec_private.key -pubout -outform PEM -pubout -out ec_public.pem

The Private Key will be saved as ec_private.key and the public key as ec_public.pem

Option B - With Registry CA

Create A Root CA And its Certificate

#openssl req -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days validity_certificate -newkey rsa:bits -keyout root_key_file -out root_certificate_file
openssl req -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days 1825 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout rootCA.key -out rootCA.crt

Create A Private Key With OpenSSl

#openssl ecparam  -genkey -name prime256v1 -noout -out file_name
openssl ecparam -genkey -name prime256v1 -noout -out ec_private.key

Create A Signing Request

#openssl req -key private_key_filename -new -out csr_filename
openssl req -key ec_private.key -new -out domain.csr

Sign the Csr With Root CA

#openssl x509 -req -CA root_ca_cert_file -CAkey root_ca_key_file -in csr_filename -out device_cert_filename -days validitiy -CAcreateserial
openssl x509 -req -CA rootCA.crt -CAkey rootCA.key -in domain.csr -out device.crt -days 365 -CAcreateserial

If you want your telemetry and state messages to be forwarded to Cloud Pub/Sub please configure a sink.Else skip this step.

Go To Sink Tab And Click On Create Sink if not present.
Copy Your Gcp Project Id To Project Field
Follow the instructions and click continue.Choose either console or cli option.

Go To Registry Tab and click on New Registry
If Root CA is needed, Paste the rootCA.crt generated in the previous step and paste it in the authentication.
Enter Registry Details and Click Create. Sample Data is shown below.

Go To Device Tab and click on New Device
If Registry Has No CA ,Use the publickey.pem generated in previous step as authentication.If Registry Has Ca,specify the device.crt generated in previous step as authentication.Specify the key type also.
Enter Device Details And Click On Create .

Generate A JWT Token From the private key generated as input.
