SFTP is basically a file transfer protocol for SSH. SSH supports two primary authentication options: passwords or keys. If you need to generate public/private keys for SFTP/SSH, you can use "ssh-keygen" on macOS (man ssh-keygen for details). Using a "client certificate supplied to us for encrypting payments via LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCES using PHP cURL" sounds like something unrelated to SFTP.
