 754 <div class="sectionbody">
 755 <div class="paragraph"><p><strong>tor-gencert</strong> generates certificates and private keys for use by Tor
 756 directory authorities running the v3 Tor directory protocol, as used by
 757 Tor 0.2.0 and later. If you are not running a directory authority, you
 758 don&#8217;t need to use tor-gencert.<br /></p></div>
 759 <div class="paragraph"><p>Every directory authority has a long term authority <em>identity</em> <em>key</em> (which
 760 is distinct from the identity key it uses as a Tor server); this key
 761 should be kept offline in a secure location. It is used to certify
 762 shorter-lived <em>signing</em> <em>keys</em>, which are kept online and used by the
 763 directory authority to sign votes and consensus documents.<br /></p></div>
 764 <div class="paragraph"><p>After you use this program to generate a signing key and a certificate,
 765 copy those files to the keys subdirectory of your Tor process, and send
 766 Tor a SIGHUP signal. DO NOT COPY THE IDENTITY KEY.</p></div>
