6 openssl-gendsa - generate a DSA private key from a set of parameters
27 {- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_r_synopsis -}
28 {- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_engine_synopsis -}{- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_provider_synopsis -}
33 This command generates a DSA private key from a DSA parameter file
34 (which will be typically generated by the L<openssl-dsaparam(1)> command).
42 Print out a usage message.
44 =item B<-out> I<filename>
46 Output the key to the specified file. If this argument is not specified then
47 standard output is used.
49 =item B<-passout> I<arg>
51 The passphrase used for the output file.
52 See L<openssl-passphrase-options(1)>.
54 =item B<-aes128>, B<-aes192>, B<-aes256>, B<-aria128>, B<-aria192>, B<-aria256>, B<-camellia128>, B<-camellia192>, B<-camellia256>, B<-des>, B<-des3>, B<-idea>
56 These options encrypt the private key with specified
57 cipher before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for.
58 If none of these options is specified no encryption is used.
62 Print extra details about the operations being performed.

70 The DSA parameter file to use. The parameters in this file determine
71 the size of the private key. DSA parameters can be generated and
72 examined using the L<openssl-dsaparam(1)> command.
74 {- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_provider_item -}
80 DSA key generation is little more than random number generation so it is
81 much quicker that RSA key generation for example.
