GENKEY Command

Used to generate RSA, ECC, ED25519 and DSA keys. If using "-output KEY" a private key is created having .priv appended to -out argument and a public key is created with .pub appended to the -out argument. If generating ED25519 keys compile wolfSSL with --enable-ed25519.

Available arguments are:

[-out] file to write to
[rsa | ecc | ed25519] key type to generate
[-inkey] input file for key
[-size] size of key to generate
[-outform] output form, either DER or PEM (defaults to DER)
[-output] key to generate, either PUB, PRIV or KEYPAIR (defaults to KEYPAIR)
[-exponent] RSA exponent size

Example:

wolfssl genkey rsa -size 2048 -out mykey -outform pem  -output KEYPAIR
