ssl-ecdsaKey

The following operations can be performed on “ssl-ecdsaKey”:

create ssl ecdsaKey

Generates an ECDSA key.

Synopsis

create ssl ecdsaKey -curve ( P_256 | P_384 ) [-keyform ( DER | PEM )] [-des | -des3 | -aes256] {-password } [-pkcs8]

Arguments

keyFile Name for and, optionally, path to the ECDSA key file. /nsconfig/ssl/ is the default path. Maximum value: 63

curve Curve id to generate ECDSA key. Only P_256 and P_384 are supported

Possible values: P_256, P_384 Default value: FIPSEXP_F4

keyform Format in which the ECDSA key file is stored on the appliance.

Possible values: DER, PEM Default value: PEM

des Encrypt the generated ECDSA key by using the DES algorithm. On the command line, you are prompted to enter the pass phrase (password) that is used to encrypt the key.

des3 Encrypt the generated ECDSA key by using the Triple-DES algorithm. On the command line, you are prompted to enter the pass phrase (password) that is used to encrypt the key.

aes256 Encrypt the generated ECDSA key by using the AES algorithm.

password Pass phrase to use for encryption if DES or DES3 option is selected. Maximum value: 31

pkcs8 Create the private key in PKCS#8 format.

Example

create ssl ecdsakey /nsconfig/ssl/ecdsa256.key 1024 -curve P_256
