NAME

       efikeygen - command line tool for generating keys to use for PE image signing

SYNOPSIS

       efikeygen <[--ca | -C] [--self-sign | -S] | [--signer=nickname]>
              [--token=token | -t token]
              [--nickname=nickname | -n nickname]
              [--common-name=common name | -c common name]
              [--url=url | -u url]
              [--serial=serial | -s serial]

DESCRIPTION

       efikeygen  is  a  command  line  tool for generating keys and certificates to be used with
       pesign.  These are standard X.509 certificates, and can potentially be generated with  any
       certificate creation tool.  efikeygen simply sets generates keys with sensible options set
       for a key to be used for PE image signing.

OPTIONS

       --ca   The certificate being generated is for a CA.

       --self-sign
              The generated certificate is to be self signed.

       --signer=nickname
              Nickname of certificate to be used to sign the generated certificate.

       --token=token
              Use the specified NSS token's certificate database.

       --nickname=nickname
              The nickname to use for the generated certificate.

       --common-name=common-name
              The X.509 Common Name for the generated certificate.  This  should  be  in  rfc2253
              syntax, i.e. "CN=John Doe,OU=editing,O=New York Times,L=New York,ST=NY,C=US"

       --url=url
              Informational url regarding objects signed with this key.

       --serial=serial number
              Serial number for use with this key.  A certificate is identified by its signer and
              its serial number,  so it's best not to  ever  re-use  this  value  with  the  same
              signer.   By  default, this value will be generated using /dev/urandom .  It is not
              recommended to use this option to override that.
