SSH-keygen2
SSH-KEYGEN2.EXE
is a Windows port of the
UNIX ssh2 key generation tool
(ssh-keygen2).
The ssh-keygen2 is a tool that generates and manages
authentication keys for ssh2. Each user wishing to use ssh2
with public-key authentication can run this tool to create
authentication keys. Additionally, the system administrator may
use this to generate host keys for the SSH Secure Shell server.
(Please note that PKI and PKCS #11 support is only available in commercial distributions of SSH Secure Shell.)
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keygen2 [-b bits] [-t dsa|rsa] [-c comment_string]
[-e file] [-p passphrase] [-P] [-h] [-?] [-q] [-1 file] [-i]
[-D file] [-B number] [-V] [-r file] [-x file] [-k file]
[-7 file] [-F file] [key1 key2 ...]
OPTIONS
-b bits
Length of the key in bits, for example 1024 bits.
-t dsa | rsa
Choose the type of the key. Valid options are
dsa and rsa.
-c comment_string
Specify the key's comment string.
-e file
Edit the specified key. Makes ssh-keygen2 interactive.
You can change the key's passphrase or comment.
-p passphrase

-P Specify that the key will be saved with an empty
passphrase.
-h | -?
Print a short summary of ssh-keygen2 commands.
-q Hide the progress indicator.
-1 file
Convert key from ssh1 format to ssh2 format.
-i file
Load and display information on 'file'.
-D file
Derive the public key from the private key 'file'.
-B number
The number base for displaying key information (default 10).
-V Print version string and exit.
-r file
Stir in data from file to the random pool.
-x file
Convert private key from X.509 format to ssh2 format.
-k file
Convert a PKCS #12 file to an ssh2 format certificate
and private key.
-7 file
Extract certificates from a PKCS #7 file.
