How to setup your own CA with OpenSSL

For educational reasons I've decided to create my own CA. Here is what I learned.

First things first

Lets get some context first.

// Matraka's source code decoded and beautified

// Matraka is a 1005 byte Javascript "demo" by p01. It includes an 'evolving animation'
// and great dirty synth music. View here:

// I fondly recall the demo scene of my youth, puzzling over the work of Future
// Creators and those guys. I was puzzled by this worked so I had to figure it

Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...
