=pod =head1 NAME gendsa - generate a DSA private key from a set of parameters =head1 SYNOPSIS B B [B<-out filename>] [B<-des>] [B<-des3>] [B<-idea>] [B<-rand file(s)>] [B] =head1 DESCRIPTION The B command generates a DSA private key from a DSA parameter file (which will be typically generated by the B command). =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-des|-des3|-idea> These options encrypt the private key with the DES, triple DES, or the IDEA ciphers respectively before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for. If none of these options is specified no encryption is used. =item B<-rand file(s)> a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number generator. Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent character. For MS-Windows, the separator is B<;>. For OpenVMS, it's B<,>. For all others, it's B<:>. =item B This option specifies the DSA parameter file to use. The parameters in this file determine the size of the private key. DSA parameters can be generated and examined using the B command. =back =head1 NOTES DSA key generation is little more than random number generation so it is much quicker that RSA key generation for example. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L =cut
