Post by micheal007 » Mon Feb 19, 2018 9:25 am

The most effective way is to secure the cert/key with a password so that only the real user can open them and connect.

Password has already been applied. But my question is if my private key is stolen so the intruder can not connect it from their own system. So that client will only be connected through my system.
