Description
The [windows deployment scripts](https://github.com/guardicore/monkey/blob/develop/deployment_scripts/deploy_windows.ps1) use OpenSSL to create self-signed certificates. We may be able to remove some complexity in the windows deployment scripts by using powershell's `New-SelfSignedCertificate` (https://medium.com/the-new-control-plane/generating-self-signed-certificates-on-windows-7812a600c2d8) instead of relying on openssl.
We need to investigate and ensure that openssl isn't needed for any other purpose before making this change.
