FYI:  I'm a relative novice when dealing with SSL encryption.  So
please bear with me if I ask pointless questions.

Background Info:

My current project is securing a wireless network.  I activated the
WEP encryption and setup the nodes but from all the documentation I've
read WEP is not enough.  So, I started looking at supplementary
encryption methods and IPSec is one of them.  However, it appears that
I require a security certificate in order to make it work on Windows
XP/2k.  Which brought me to OpenSSL (Binary from "Shining Light Pro".

I've followed the documentation on the OpenSSL website (eg keys.txt
and certificates.txt).  My current problem is knowing where to go from
here.

1.  How do I change the certificate (from certificates.txt) into
something Windows will recognize?

2.  Do I need to generate a certificate for each machine? If so how?
Or is the "public" key from CA enough?

Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

PS.  The requisite script (if any is needed) is what I'm looking for
and if you have the time an explanation of what it's doing would be
nice.
