NAME¶
ntp-keygen - generate public and private keys
SYNOPSIS¶
ntp-keygen [ -deGgHIMnPT ] [ -c [RSA-MD2 | RSA-MD5 | RSA-SHA | RSA-SHA1 |
RSA-MDC2 | RSA-RIPEMD160 | DSA-SHA | DSA-SHA1 ] ] [ -i
name ] [ -p
password ] [ -S [ RSA | DSA ] ] [ -s
name ] [ -v
nkeys ]
DESCRIPTION¶
This program generates cryptographic data files used by the NTPv4 authentication
and identification schemes. It generates MD5 key files used in symmetric key
cryptography. In addition, if the OpenSSL software library has been installed,
it generates keys, certificate and identity files used in public key
cryptography. These files are used for cookie encryption, digital signature
and challenge/response identification algorithms compatible with the Internet
standard security infrastructure.
