NAME


genrsa - generate an RSA private key

SYNOPSIS


openssl genrsa [-out filename] [-passout arg] [-aes128] [-aes192] [-aes256] [-camellia128]
[-camellia192] [-camellia256] [-des] [-des3] [-idea] [-f4] [-3] [-rand file(s)] [-engine
id] [numbits]

DESCRIPTION


The genrsa command generates an RSA private key.

OPTIONS


-out filename
the output filename. If this argument is not specified then standard output is used.

-passout arg
the output file password source. For more information about the format of arg see the
PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS section in openssl(1).

-aes128|-aes192|-aes256|-camellia128|-camellia192|-camellia256|-des|-des3|-idea
These options encrypt the private key with specified cipher before outputting it. If
none of these options is specified no encryption is used. If encryption is used a pass
phrase is prompted for if it is not supplied via the -passout argument.

-F4|-3
the public exponent to use, either 65537 or 3. The default is 65537.

-rand file(s)
a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number generator, or an
EGD socket (see RAND_egd(3)). Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-
dependent character. The separator is ; for MS-Windows, , for OpenVMS, and : for all
others.

-engine id
specifying an engine (by its unique id string) will cause genrsa 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.

numbits
the size of the private key to generate in bits. This must be the last option
specified. The default is 512.

NOTES


RSA private key generation essentially involves the generation of two prime numbers. When
generating a private key various symbols will be output to indicate the progress of the
generation. A . represents each number which has passed an initial sieve test, + means a
number has passed a single round of the Miller-Rabin primality test. A newline means that
the number has passed all the prime tests (the actual number depends on the key size).

Because key generation is a random process the time taken to generate a key may vary
somewhat.
