The OpenVAS Scanner protects its communication with clients by using SSL. SSL requires the scanner to present a certificate to the client, and the client can optionally present a certificate to the scanner.
This script openvas-mkcert creates a certificate authority (if none exists already) and generates the scanner certificate.
-q quickly generates a new certificate, without asking any question
-f force overwriting of already existing certificate files
