SelfSigned-SelfCertified-SSLCertificate

This is what we have done to achieve the result. Please examine the comments in code and run it to fully understand self signed and self certified SSL certificates, so that you can test your application with SSL.
Correlate the file names in the below diagram to that of in the code to understand what is exposed to client and what is exposed to the server.
The private keys of certificate authority are exposed to no one.The certificate authority is added to the (node.js) client so that it can automatically test the application in SSL.
