.Nm keynote-keygen
.Nd command line tool for generating public/private keys
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm keynote-keygen
.Ar AlgorithmName
.Ar KeySize
.Ar PublicKeyFile
.Ar PrivateKeyFile
.Op print-offset
.Op print-length
.Sh DESCRIPTION
For details on
.Nm KeyNote ,
see the web page
.Bd -literal -offset indent
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~keynote
.Ed
.Pp
.Nm keynote-keygen
creates a public/private key of size
.Fa KeySize ,
for the algorithm specified by
.Fa AlgorithmName .
Typical keysizes are 512, 1024, or 2048 (bits). The minimum key size
for DSA keys is 512 (bits). Supported
.Fa AlgorithmName
identifiers are:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It ``dsa-hex:''
.It ``dsa-base64:''
.It ``rsa-hex:''
.It ``rsa-base64:''
.El
.Pp
Notice that the trailing colon is required.
The resulting public key is stored in file
.Fa PublicKeyFile .
Similarly, the resulting private key is stored in file
.Fa PrivateKeyFile .
Either of the filenames can be specified to be ``-'', in which
case the corresponding key(s) will be printed in standard output.
.Pp
The optional parameters
.Fa print-offset
and
.Fa print-length
specify the offset from the begining of the line where the key
will be printed, and the number of characters of the key that will
be printed per line.
.Fa print-length
includes
.Fa AlgorithmName
for the first line and has to be longer (by at least 2) than
.Fa AlgorithmName .
.Fa print-length
also accounts for the line-continuation character (backslash) at
the end of each line, and the doublequotes at the begining and end
of the key encoding. Default values are 12 and 50 respectively.
