| Synopsis |
| -------- |
| |
| **ndnsec-key-gen** [**-h**] [**-n**] [**-t** *type*] |
| [**-k** *keyidtype*\|\ **--keyid** *keyid*] *identity* |
| |
| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| :program:`ndnsec-key-gen` generates a key pair for the specified *identity* and |
| sets the generated public key as the identity's default key. |
| :program:`ndnsec-key-gen` will also create a signing request for the generated key. |
| The signing request will be written to the standard output in base64 encoding. |
| |
| By default, it will also set the identity as the user's default identity. |
| |
| Options |
| ------- |
| |
| .. option:: -n, --not-default |
| |
| Do not set the identity as the user's default identity. |
| |
| Note that if no other identity/key/certificate exists, then the identity |
| will become the default regardless of this option. |
| |
| .. option:: -t <type>, --type <type> |
| |
| Type of key to generate. "r" for RSA, "e" for ECDSA (the default). |
| |
| .. option:: -k <keyidtype>, --keyid-type <keyidtype> |
| |
| Type of KeyId for the generated key. "r" for a 64-bit random number (the default |
| unless **--keyid** is specified), "h" for the SHA-256 of the public key. |
| |
| .. option:: --keyid <keyid> |
| |
| User-specified KeyId. Must be a non-empty generic name component. |
