Open SSL Symmetric Code Security with Apache2.0

[Sam Nokia]

Hi guys,

I'm hoping to get very basic instructions on how to create a client side certificate.

Desirably, I want to be able to hand clients a USB stick with a security key on it. And then only those clients who physically have the key can access a directory of a website. (If they have to move the key somewhere onto their computer, thats fine, I can make a batch script for that, but let me know where it needs to go)

I've had a quick google, but that only seems to be bringing up comparisons of Symmetric Keys and Asymmetric Keys, not anything of use though.

I am using a basic Debain server with Apache/2.0.54 PHP/5.0.5 mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7g

Thanks!
