  • Research the tools available to create a Secure Shell public-key certificate using the Windows environment.
  • Differentiate between the tools researched and make a recommendation for 1 tool that you examined. Supply the reasons for your recommendation.
  • Describe the process used to generate a public-key certificate using your recommended tool. Include challenges and any best practices.
