We can generate a pair of keys, a private key, and a public key file, and place them in the project directory. To do this, first create a 'config' directory within the project. Then, using OpenSSL in the 'config' directory, generate a private key file with a size of 4096 bits using the 'gmrsa' command with an 'out' option. Subsequently, generate a corresponding public key file using an 'in' option specifying the private key file and a 'pubout' option for the public key file.

Two files will be created in the 'config' directory: 'private key' and 'public key'. These files, recognized by 'private key' or 'public key' at their beginnings and endings, should be ignored in the project's source code management. To ignore them, add a rule to the '.gitignore' file to exclude all files ending with '.key' in the 'config' directory.

The method for generating the keys will be documented in the 'README.md' file, including the commands for generating both the private and public key files, to serve as a reference.
