The \fBgenpkey\fR command generates a private key.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-out filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-out filename"
the output filename. If this argument is not specified then standard output is
used.
.IP "\fB\-outform DER|PEM\fR" 4
.IX Item "-outform DER|PEM"
This specifies the output format \s-1DER\s0 or \s-1PEM.\s0 The default format is \s-1PEM.\s0
.IP "\fB\-pass arg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-pass arg"
The output file password source. For more information about the format of \fBarg\fR
see the \fB\s-1PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS\s0\fR section in \fBopenssl\fR\|(1).
.IP "\fB\-\f(BIcipher\fB\fR" 4
.IX Item "-cipher"
This option encrypts the private key with the supplied cipher. Any algorithm
name accepted by \fBEVP_get_cipherbyname()\fR is acceptable such as \fBdes3\fR.
.IP "\fB\-engine id\fR" 4
.IX Item "-engine id"
Specifying an engine (by its unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBgenpkey\fR
to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
for all available algorithms. If used this option should precede all other
options.
.IP "\fB\-algorithm alg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-algorithm alg"
Public key algorithm to use such as \s-1RSA, DSA\s0 or \s-1DH.\s0 If used this option must
precede any \fB\-pkeyopt\fR options. The options \fB\-paramfile\fR and \fB\-algorithm\fR
are mutually exclusive. Engines may add algorithms in addition to the standard
built-in ones.
.Sp
Valid built-in algorithm names for private key generation are \s-1RSA\s0 and \s-1EC.\s0
.Sp
Valid built-in algorithm names for parameter generation (see the \fB\-genparam\fR
option) are \s-1DH, DSA\s0 and \s-1EC.\s0
.Sp
Note that the algorithm name X9.42 \s-1DH\s0 may be used as a synonym for the \s-1DH\s0
algorithm. These are identical and do not indicate the type of parameters that
will be generated. Use the \fBdh_paramgen_type\fR option to indicate whether PKCS#3
or X9.42 \s-1DH\s0 parameters are required. See \*(L"\s-1DH\s0 Parameter Generation Options\*(R"
below for more details.
.IP "\fB\-pkeyopt opt:value\fR" 4
.IX Item "-pkeyopt opt:value"
Set the public key algorithm option \fBopt\fR to \fBvalue\fR. The precise set of
options supported depends on the public key algorithm used and its
implementation. See \*(L"\s-1KEY GENERATION OPTIONS\*(R"\s0 and
\&\*(L"\s-1PARAMETER GENERATION OPTIONS\*(R"\s0 below for more details.
.IP "\fB\-genparam\fR" 4
.IX Item "-genparam"
Generate a set of parameters instead of a private key. If used this option must
precede any \fB\-algorithm\fR, \fB\-paramfile\fR or \fB\-pkeyopt\fR options.
.IP "\fB\-paramfile filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-paramfile filename"
Some public key algorithms generate a private key based on a set of parameters.
They can be supplied using this option. If this option is used the public key
algorithm used is determined by the parameters. If used this option must
precede and \fB\-pkeyopt\fR options. The options \fB\-paramfile\fR and \fB\-algorithm\fR
are mutually exclusive.
.IP "\fB\-text\fR" 4
.IX Item "-text"
Print an (unencrypted) text representation of private and public keys and
parameters along with the \s-1PEM\s0 or \s-1DER\s0 structure.
.SH "KEY GENERATION OPTIONS"
.IX Header "KEY GENERATION OPTIONS"
The options supported by each algorith and indeed each implementation of an
algorithm can vary. The options for the OpenSSL implementations are detailed
below.
.SS "\s-1RSA\s0 Key Generation Options"
.IX Subsection "RSA Key Generation Options"
.IP "\fBrsa_keygen_bits:numbits\fR" 4
.IX Item "rsa_keygen_bits:numbits"
The number of bits in the generated key. If not specified 2048 is used.
.IP "\fBrsa_keygen_pubexp:value\fR" 4
.IX Item "rsa_keygen_pubexp:value"
The \s-1RSA\s0 public exponent value. This can be a large decimal or
hexadecimal value if preceded by \fB0x\fR. Default value is 65537.
.SS "\s-1EC\s0 Key Generation Options"
.IX Subsection "EC Key Generation Options"
The \s-1EC\s0 key generation options can also be used for parameter generation.
.IP "\fBec_paramgen_curve:curve\fR" 4
.IX Item "ec_paramgen_curve:curve"
The \s-1EC\s0 curve to use. OpenSSL supports \s-1NIST\s0 curve names such as \*(L"P\-256\*(R".
.IP "\fBec_param_enc:encoding\fR" 4
.IX Item "ec_param_enc:encoding"
The encoding to use for parameters. The \*(L"encoding\*(R" parameter must be either
\&\*(L"named_curve\*(R" or \*(L"explicit\*(R". The default value is \*(L"named_curve\*(R".
.SH "PARAMETER GENERATION OPTIONS"
.IX Header "PARAMETER GENERATION OPTIONS"
The options supported by each algorithm and indeed each implementation of an
algorithm can vary. The options for the OpenSSL implementations are detailed
below.
.SS "\s-1DSA\s0 Parameter Generation Options"
.IX Subsection "DSA Parameter Generation Options"
.IP "\fBdsa_paramgen_bits:numbits\fR" 4
.IX Item "dsa_paramgen_bits:numbits"
The number of bits in the generated prime. If not specified 2048 is used.
.IP "\fBdsa_paramgen_q_bits:numbits\fR" 4
.IX Item "dsa_paramgen_q_bits:numbits"
The number of bits in the q parameter. Must be one of 160, 224 or 256. If not
specified 224 is used.
.IP "\fBdsa_paramgen_md:digest\fR" 4
.IX Item "dsa_paramgen_md:digest"
The digest to use during parameter generation. Must be one of \fBsha1\fR, \fBsha224\fR
or \fBsha256\fR. If set, then the number of bits in \fBq\fR will match the output size
of the specified digest and the \fBdsa_paramgen_q_bits\fR parameter will be
ignored. If not set, then a digest will be used that gives an output matching
the number of bits in \fBq\fR, i.e. \fBsha1\fR if q length is 160, \fBsha224\fR if it 224
or \fBsha256\fR if it is 256.
.SS "\s-1DH\s0 Parameter Generation Options"
.IX Subsection "DH Parameter Generation Options"
.IP "\fBdh_paramgen_prime_len:numbits\fR" 4
.IX Item "dh_paramgen_prime_len:numbits"

.IP "\fBdh_paramgen_subprime_len:numbits\fR" 4
.IX Item "dh_paramgen_subprime_len:numbits"
The number of bits in the sub prime parameter \fBq\fR. The default is 256 if the
prime is at least 2048 bits long or 160 otherwise. Only relevant if used in
conjunction with the \fBdh_paramgen_type\fR option to generate X9.42 \s-1DH\s0 parameters.
.IP "\fBdh_paramgen_generator:value\fR" 4
.IX Item "dh_paramgen_generator:value"
The value to use for the generator \fBg\fR. The default is 2.
.IP "\fBdh_paramgen_type:value\fR" 4

The default is 0.
.IP "\fBdh_rfc5114:num\fR" 4
.IX Item "dh_rfc5114:num"
If this option is set, then the appropriate \s-1RFC5114\s0 parameters are used
instead of generating new parameters. The value \fBnum\fR can take the
values 1, 2 or 3 corresponding to \s-1RFC5114 DH\s0 parameters consisting of
1024 bit group with 160 bit subgroup, 2048 bit group with 224 bit subgroup
and 2048 bit group with 256 bit subgroup as mentioned in \s-1RFC5114\s0 sections
2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 respectively. If present this overrides all other \s-1DH\s0 parameter
options.
.SS "\s-1EC\s0 Parameter Generation Options"
.IX Subsection "EC Parameter Generation Options"
