# TLS unit-test credentials `test.key` and `test.crt` are public, test-only credentials for loopback TLS tests. Never use this private key outside tests. The tests disable peer verification; they exercise connection and record handling, not certificate trust or validity. Loading these fixtures avoids generating a new RSA key for each client and server context. They were generated with: ```sh openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -sha256 -nodes \ -keyout test.key -out test.crt -days 36500 \ -subj '/CN=monero-unit-tests.invalid' ```
