The
--keysize
flag of the
enecerts
utility enables users to specify the size of
the generated private key.
The flag syntax is:
--keysize bits
where
bits
is the private key size in bits. (The default
value is 1024.)
For example, the following
Windows
command creates certificates with a private
key size of 2048 bits:
enecerts --keysize 2048
Keep in mind that using larger keys will slow system performance. A recommended alternative to the default 1024-bit size is a key size of 512 bits, which will give you a good balance between security and performance considerations.
