A pass phrase is prompted for. -If none of these options is specified no encryption is used. - -=item B<-rand file(s)> - -a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number -generator, or an EGD socket (see L<RAND_egd(3)|RAND_egd(3)>). -Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent character. -The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for -all others. - -=item B<-engine id> - -specifying an engine (by it's unique B<id> string) will cause B<req> -to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine, -thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default -for all available algorithms. - -=item B<paramfile> - -This option 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 B<openssl dsaparam> command. - -=back - -=head1 NOTES - -DSA key generation is little more than random number generation so it is -much quicker that RSA key generation for example. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<dsaparam(1)|dsaparam(1)>, L<dsa(1)|dsa(1)>, L<genrsa(1)|genrsa(1)>, -L<rsa(1)|rsa(1)> - -=cut |
