man rsa-keygen (Administration système) - generate an RSA public/private key pair for PKCIPE
NAME
rsa-keygen - generate an RSA public/private key pair for PKCIPE
SYNOPSIS
rsa-keygen [ -p ] NAME [ bits ]
DESCRIPTION
NAME is the file name and the identity name.
rsa-keygen writes the private key into the file NAME.priv and the corresponding public key into NAME. It should be invoked on each host, the private key should be moved to /etc/cipe/identity.priv and the public key should be copied to the other machine(s). The public key files are text files, it is possible (and necessary) to append options in the usual format to these files after the key.
The bits value defaults to 1024. Use -p to set a passphrase on the private key.
