The first step is to create the source key that represents our user. This key is created using a tool like openssl but another popular tool to use is cfssl, created by Cloudflare. Some folks think cfssl is easier to use, and it definitely looks easier to script. But for this example we will use openssl. You can also choose to create the key using a number of different algorithms. For this example we will use ED25519.
