plainrsa-gen
can be used to generate
Plain RSA keys
for authentication purposes.
Using
Plain RSA keys
is optional.
Other possibilities are
Pre-shared keys
or
X.509 certificates
-b bits
bit length of the key.
Default is
1024
recommended length is
2048
or even
4096
bits.
Note that generating longer keys takes more time.
-e pubexp
value of the RSA public exponent.
Default is
0x3
Don't change this unless you really know what you are doing!
-f outfile
write the resulting key to
outfile
instead of
stdout
If the file already exists it won't be overwritten.
You wouldn't like to lose your private key by accident, would you?
OUTPUT FILE FORMAT
This is the secret
private key
that should
never
leave your computer:
