For testing purposes, here is [how to create self-signed certificates](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/tls#3-generate-self-signed-certificates).

## 2. Create Kubernetes secret

provide the password via:

```
export MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_PASSWORD=<your-password>
```

Note that MinIO only supports encrypted private keys - not encrypted certificates.
Certificates are no secrets and sent in plaintext as part of the TLS handshake.
