I am not sure how this happens on Windows, so you might need to look for that information elsewhere unless someone decides to help me and tell how does it happen. I am going to tell about OpenSSL.

Generating the certificate

Open terminal and run this command and replae YOURNICKNAMEHERE.pem with your nickname or something else which makes you know what it is (DO NOT SET PASSWORD FOR IT OR YOUR CLIENT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT):

-
openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout YOURNICKNAMEHERE.pem -x509 -days 365 -out YOURNICKNAMEHERE.pem
+
openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout YOURNICKNAMEHERE.pem -x509 -days 365 -out YOURNICKNAMEHERE.pem -subj "/CN=Your Nickname"

This gives us file YOURNICKNAMEHERE.pem which you must give to your IRC client. I am sorry, but that depends on your IRC client too, so I cannot say anything about it.

Telling NickServ about your key

NickServ wants to know the fingerprint which you can get with the following command:
