134 gendsa \- generate a DSA private key from a set of parameters
136 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
137 \&\fBopenssl\fR \fBgendsa\fR
138 [\fB\-out filename\fR]
142 [\fB\-rand file(s)\fR]
146 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
147 The \fBgendsa\fR command generates a \s-1DSA\s0 private key from a \s-1DSA\s0 parameter file
148 (which will be typically generated by the \fBopenssl dsaparam\fR command).
151 .IP "\fB\-des|\-des3|\-idea\fR" 4
152 .IX Item "-des|-des3|-idea"
153 These options encrypt the private key with the \s-1DES\s0, triple \s-1DES\s0, or the
154 \&\s-1IDEA\s0 ciphers respectively before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for.
155 If none of these options is specified no encryption is used.
156 .IP "\fB\-rand file(s)\fR" 4
157 .IX Item "-rand file(s)"
158 a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
159 generator, or an \s-1EGD\s0 socket (see \fIRAND_egd\fR\|(3)).
160 Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent character.
161 The separator is \fB;\fR for MS\-Windows, \fB,\fR for OpenVMS, and \fB:\fR for
163 .IP "\fB\-engine id\fR" 4
164 .IX Item "-engine id"
165 specifying an engine (by it's unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBreq\fR
166 to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
167 thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
168 for all available algorithms.
169 .IP "\fBparamfile\fR" 4
171 This option specifies the \s-1DSA\s0 parameter file to use. The parameters in this
172 file determine the size of the private key. \s-1DSA\s0 parameters can be generated
173 and examined using the \fBopenssl dsaparam\fR command.
176 \&\s-1DSA\s0 key generation is little more than random number generation so it is
177 much quicker that \s-1RSA\s0 key generation for example.
