ndnsec-sign-req
===============

Synopsis
--------

**ndnsec-sign-req** [**-h**] [**-k**] *name*

Description
-----------

:program:`ndnsec-sign-req` generates a signing request for a key.

The signing request of a key is actually a self-signed certificate. Given the
key's information, :program:`ndnsec-sign-req` looks up the key in the PIB.
If such a key exists, a self-signed certificate for the key, i.e. its signing
request, is written to the standard output in base64 encoding.

By default, *name* is interpreted as an identity name, and the signing request
will be generated for that identity's default key.

Options
-------

.. option:: -k, --key

   Interpret *name* as a key name, instead of an identity name.

Example
-------

Create a signing request for an identity's default key::
