PKCS11-KEYGEN(8) BIND9 PKCS11-KEYGEN(8) NAME pkcs11-keygen - generate keys on a PKCS#11 device SYNOPSIS pkcs11-keygen {-a algorithm} [-b keysize] [-e] [-i id] [-m module] [-P] [-p PIN] [-q] [-S] [-s slot] {label} DESCRIPTION pkcs11-keygen causes a PKCS#11 device to generate a new key pair with the given label (which must be unique) and with keysize bits of prime. ARGUMENTS -a algorithm Specify the key algorithm class: Supported classes are RSA, DSA, DH, and ECC. In addition to these strings, the algorithm can be specified as a DNSSEC signing algorithm that will be used with this key; for example, NSEC3RSASHA1 maps to RSA, and ECDSAP256SHA256 maps to ECC. The default class is "RSA". -b keysize Create the key pair with keysize bits of prime. For ECC keys, the only valid values are 256 and 384, and the default is 256. -e For RSA keys only, use a large exponent. -i id Create key objects with id. The id is either an unsigned short 2 byte or an unsigned long 4 byte number. -m module Specify the PKCS#11 provider module. This must be the full path to a shared library object implementing the PKCS#11 API for the device. -P Set the new private key to be non-sensitive and extractable. The allows the private key data to be read from the PKCS#11 device. The default is for private keys to be sensitive and non-extractable. -p PIN Specify the PIN for the device. If no PIN is provided on the command line, pkcs11-keygen will prompt for it. -q Quiet mode: suppress unnecessary output. -S For Diffie-Hellman (DH) keys only, use a special prime of 768, 1024 or 1536 bit size and base (aka generator) 2. If not specified, bit size will default to 1024. -s slot Open the session with the given PKCS#11 slot. The default is slot 0.
