19 .B -m, --machine, --global
20 Use machine (global) store for all the key actions. Note that on Unix machines global store is located in
21 \fI/usr/share/.mono\fR and modifying it requires root user permissions.
24 .B -u, --user, --local
25 Use local (user) store for all the key actions. User key store is located in the \fI$HOME/.config/.mono\fR
26 directory. This is the default location used by mono-configuration-crypto.
30 List all the key container names in the store. Note that some container names might be just GUID strings.
34 Creates an RSA public/private key pair. If the specified container (see the \fI-f\fR option) already exists, the
39 Imports key to a container. Imports a key from file (specified by the \fI-f\fR option) and puts it as the first key
40 in the specified container (see the \fI-n\fR option). If container exists, its first key is replaced. If container
41 doesn't exist, it is created. No validation is performed on the key value - this is left to the protection provider or
42 encryption code which uses the key.
46 Exports key from a container. Exports a key from indicated container (see the \fI-n\fR option) and puts it in the
47 specified file (see the \fI-f\fR option) as XML. The file can later be used to import the key.
51 Remove a container. Physically removes the container file from disk.
55 File name for import or export operations. All options which read or write anything to/from files require this option
56 to be present on the command line.
59 .B -cf, --config-file=VALUE
60 Config file name. Specifies base name of the config file, used in encrypt and decrypt operations. Files are sought for
61 case-insensitively. Defaults to \fIWeb.config\fR
65 Container name. If this option is absent from the command line it defaults to \fIMonoFrameworkConfigurationKey\fR (the
66 default key name used by System.Configuration section encryption/decryption code)
70 Key size. Specifies the key length for the create operation (see the \fI-c\fR option). Defaults to 1024.
74 Application physical path. Used when encrypting/decrypting configuration file sections to specify the directory in which
75 the configuration file lives (see the \fI-cf\fR option). Defaults to current directory.
78 .B -d, --dec, --decrypt=VALUE
79 Decrypt configuration section. Configuration section must follow the format used when calling ConfigurationManager.GetSection,
80 i.e.: path/to/section. Only sections known to the configuration system will be processed.
83 .B -e, --enc, --encrypt=VALUE
84 Encrypt configuration section. Configuration section must follow the format used when calling ConfigurationManager.GetSection,
85 i.e.: path/to/section. Only sections known to the configuration system will be processed.
