Name
gendsa
Synopsis
The gendsa
command is used for generating DSA keys
from DSA parameters.
Options
- -des, -des3, -idea
Specify the cipher to use to encrypt the generated key. If none of these options is specified, the key will not be encrypted.
- -rand filename
Specify the name of a file or files to use to seed the PRNG. The parameter for this option follows the guidelines outlined in Chapter 2.
Notes
The parameters to use for generation of the private key should be contained in a file in PEM format. The name of the file to read the parameters from should be specified as the last argument on the command line without any option. No option is available with this command to specify a password, so one must be entered when the command prompts for it.
