Node.js is an open-source cross-platform runtime environment (RE) used for developing server-side web applications. Functioning as an asynchronous event-driven framework, Node.js is specifically designed for constructing scalable network applications. In terms of security, this server-side RE can incorporate an SSL certificate, enabling the utilization of mod tls and consequently facilitating the use of https.createServer for HTTP over TLS connection.

Step 1
To generate a certificate signing request, OpenSSL can be employed. Check its availability in your modpack using the following command:
$ openssl
If there is no such addon, download it using this command:
npm install openssl
After that, use the following command for CSR/RSA private key generation:
openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout example_com.key -out example_com.csr
