SYNOPSISntp-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 soft‐
ware 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 identi‐
fication algorithms compatible with the Internet standard security in‐
frastructure.
