… key EasyRSA 'renew' does not renew a certificate, it builds a new cert/key pair. This 'old' method thus causes the Entity Private Key to be 'leaked'. 'renew-req' allows the original Entity Private Key to remain ''secure''. This is achieved by generating a new certificate request for the original Entity Private Key, to be submitted for signing by the CA administrator.
