Crypto Token Generate Key Page
Generate one or more key-pairs in the crypto token.

Column |
Description |
New Key Alias |
Provide the name of the new key to generate. |
Key Algorithm |
Algorithm for the key to generate. The key can be generated as type asymmetric (key-pair) or symmetric (secret key), and either key type is determined by the key algorithm specified. For example, if RSA is specified as Key Algorithm, an asymmetric key (key-pair) is generated, and specifying AES generates a symmetric key (secret key). By default, key algorithms can be selected from a drop-down list with the common options (RSA, DSA, ECDSA, and AES). To manually specify another value, click >. Examples of valid values:
If using the JackNJI11CryptoToken, the algorithm name can be specified as a long or hexadecimal constant value. For more information, see Secret Key generation in JackNJI11CryptoToken. |
Key Specification |
Key specifications for the key to generate. By default, the key specification can be selected from a drop-down list with common values, depending on the key algorithm selected. To manually specify another value, click >. Note that some key specifications presented might not be supported by the crypto token being used. For RSA and DSA, this is the key length and is specified as a number. Additionally, for RSA it is possible to use a different exponent by suffixing the number with an "e" followed by the exponent in decimal or prefixed with "0x" for hexadecimal. For ECDSA, use the name of the curve. Examples:
