gendsa(1ssl)							  gendsa(1ssl)

NAME
       gendsa - Generate a DSA private key from a set of parameters

SYNOPSIS
       openssl	gendsa [-out filename] [-des] [-des3] [-idea] [-rand filename]
       [paramfile]

OPTIONS
       Encrypts the private key with the DES, triple DES, or the  IDEA ciphers
       respectively  before  outputting	 it. A pass phrase is prompted for. If
       none of these options is specified no encryption is used.   A  file  or
       files  containing random data used to seed the random number generator,
       or an EGD socket. (See RAND_egd(3).) Multiple files  can	 be  specified
       separated  by  an  OS-dependent character. The separator is a semicolon
       (;) for MS-Windows, a comma (,) for OpenVMS, and a colon	 (:)  for  all
       others.	 Specifies  the	 DSA  parameter file to use. The parameters in
       this file determine the size of the private key. DSA parameters can  be
       generated and examined using the openssl dsaparam command.

DESCRIPTION
       The  gendsa  command  generates	a DSA private key from a DSA parameter
       file (which will be typically generated by the  openssl	dsaparam  com‐
       mand).

NOTES
       DSA  key generation is little more than random number generation, so it
       is much quicker than RSA key generation.
