191 gendsa \- generate a DSA private key from a set of parameters
193 \fBopenssl\fR \fBgendsa\fR
194 [\fB\-out filename\fR]
198 [\fB\-rand file(s)\fR]
202 The \fBgendsa\fR command generates a DSA private key from a DSA parameter file
203 (which will be typically generated by the \fBopenssl dsaparam\fR command).
205 .Ip "\fB\-des|\-des3|\-idea\fR" 4
206 These options encrypt the private key with the \s-1DES\s0, triple \s-1DES\s0, or the
207 \s-1IDEA\s0 ciphers respectively before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for.
208 If none of these options is specified no encryption is used.
209 .Ip "\fB\-rand file(s)\fR" 4
210 a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
211 generator, or an \s-1EGD\s0 socket (see RAND_egd(3)).
212 Multiple files can be specified separated by a \s-1OS\s0\-dependent character.
213 The separator is \fB;\fR for \s-1MS\s0\-Windows, \fB,\fR for OpenVMS, and \fB:\fR for
215 .Ip "\fB\-engine id\fR" 4
216 specifying an engine (by it's unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBreq\fR
217 to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
218 thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
219 for all available algorithms.
220 .Ip "\fBparamfile\fR" 4
221 This option specifies the \s-1DSA\s0 parameter file to use. The parameters in this
222 file determine the size of the private key. \s-1DSA\s0 parameters can be generated
223 and examined using the \fBopenssl dsaparam\fR command.
225 DSA key generation is little more than random number generation so it is
226 much quicker that RSA key generation for example.
