When you run createkey, you are prompted for the following information:
Choose encryption type
This prompt only appears if you have purchased a license for ECC encryption. Choose RSA or ECC.
Enter RSA key length (512-16384)
This prompt only appears if you chose RSA encryption. You can choose a length between 512 bits and 16384 bits.
Enter ECC curve
This prompt only appears if you have purchased a license for ECC encryption and you chose the ECC encryption type. You
are prompted to choose from a list of ECC curves. The default is secp521r1.
The three digit number in the curve name represents the bit-size of the curve. The encryption strength of a curve is approximately
equivalent to an AES key of half the size. For example, a 512-bit ECC curve would have the same strength as a 256-bit AES
key.
The following ECC curves are supported:
sect163k1
sect163r2
sect233k1
sect233r1
sect283k1
sect283r1
sect409k1
sect409r1
sect571k1
sect571r1
secp192r1
secp224r1
secp256r1
secp384r1
secp521r1
Enter file path to save public key
Specify a file name and location for the generated PEM or DER encoded public key. This file is specified on the MobiLink
client by the e2ee_public_key protocol option. See e2ee_public_key.
Enter file path to save private key
Specify a file name and location for the generated PEM or DER encoded private key. This file is specified on the MobiLink
server via the e2ee_private_key protocol option. See -x mlsrv12 option.
Enter password to protect private key
Optionally, supply a password with which to encrypt the private key. The private key is not encrypted if you do not
supply a password. This password is specified on the MobiLink server via the e2ee_private_key_password protocol option. See
-x mlsrv12 option.
