PLAINRSA-GEN(8)		    System Manager's Manual	       PLAINRSA-GEN(8)

NAME
       plainrsa-gen -- generator for Plain RSA keys

SYNOPSIS
       plainrsa-gen [-b	bits] [-e pubexp] [-f outfile] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       plainrsa-gen  can be used to generate Plain RSA keys for	authentication
       purposes.  Using	Plain RSA keys is optional.  Other  possibilities  are
       Pre-shared keys or X.509	certificates.

       -b bits
	       bit  length of the key.	Default	is 1024, recommended length is
	       2048 or even 4096 bits.	Note that generating longer keys takes
	       longer time.

       -e pubexp
	       value of	RSA public exponent.  Default is  0x3.	 Don't	change
	       this unless you really know what	you are	doing!

       -f outfile
	       outfile instead of stdout.  If the file already exists it won't
	       be  overwritten.	 You wouldn't like to lose your	private	key by
	       accident, would you?

OUTPUT FILE FORMAT
       This is the secret private key that should never	leave your computer:

       : RSA   {
	       # RSA 1024 bits
	       # pubkey=0sAQOrWlcwbAIdNSMhDt...
	       Modulus:	0xab5a57306c021d3523...
	       PublicExponent: 0x03
	       PrivateExponent:	0x723c3a2048...
	       Prime1: 0xd309b30e6adf9d85c01...
	       Prime2: 0xcfdc2a8aa5b2b3c90e3...
	       Exponent1: 0x8cb122099c9513ae...
	       Exponent2: 0x8a92c7071921cd30...
	       Coefficient: 0x722751305eafe9...
	 }

       The line	pubkey=0sAQOrW... of the private key  contains	a  public  key
       that should be stored in	the other peer's configuration in this format:

       : PUB 0sAQOrWlcwbAIdNSMhDt...

       You can also specify from and to	addresses for which the	key is valid:

       0.0.0.0/0 10.20.30.0/24 : PUB 0sAQOrWlcwbAIdNSMhDt...

       appeared	in ipsec-tools 0.4.
