.Sh NAME .Nm plainrsa-gen .Nd generator for Plain RSA keys
.Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm plainrsa-gen k -words .Op Fl b Ar bits .Op Fl e Ar pubexp .Op Fl f Ar outfile .Op Fl h .Ek
.Sh DESCRIPTION .Nm can be used to generate .Li Plain RSA keys for authentication purposes. Using .Li Plain RSA keys is optional. Other possibilities are .Li Pre-shared keys or .Li X.509 certificates .
l -tag -width Ds t Fl b Ar bits bit length of the key. Default is .Li 1024 , recommended length is .Li 2048 or even .Li 4096 bits. Note that generating longer keys takes longer time. t Fl e Ar pubexp value of RSA public exponent. Default is .Li 0x3 . Don't change this unless you really know what you are doing! t Fl f Ar outfile .Ar outfile instead of .Li stdout . If the file already exists it won't be overwritten. You wouldn't like to lose your private key by accident, would you? .El
.Sh OUTPUT FILE FORMAT This is the secret .Li private key that should c never leave your computer: d -literal : RSA { # RSA 1024 bits # pubkey=0sAQOrWlcwbAIdNSMhDt... Modulus: 0xab5a57306c021d3523... PublicExponent: 0x03 PrivateExponent: 0x723c3a2048... Prime1: 0xd309b30e6adf9d85c01... Prime2: 0xcfdc2a8aa5b2b3c90e3... Exponent1: 0x8cb122099c9513ae... Exponent2: 0x8a92c7071921cd30... Coefficient: 0x722751305eafe9... } .Ed

p The line .Li pubkey=0sAQOrW... of the .Li private key contains a .Li public key that should be stored in the other peer's configuration in this format: d -literal : PUB 0sAQOrWlcwbAIdNSMhDt... .Ed

p You can also specify .Li from and .Li to addresses for which the key is valid: d -literal 0.0.0.0/0 10.20.30.0/24 : PUB 0sAQOrWlcwbAIdNSMhDt... .Ed
