NAME

       ntp-keygen - generate public and private keys

SYNOPSIS

       ntp-keygen [ -deGgHIMnPT ] [ -c [RSA-MD2 | RSA-MD5 | RSA-SHA | RSA-SHA1 | RSA-MDC2 | RSA-RIPEMD160 | DSA-
       SHA | DSA-SHA1 ] ] [ -i name ] [ -p password ] [ -S [ RSA | DSA ] ] [ -s name ] [ -v nkeys ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  generates  cryptographic  data  files  used by the NTPv4 authentication and identification
       schemes. It generates MD5 key files used in symmetric key  cryptography.  In  addition,  if  the  OpenSSL
       software library has been installed, it generates keys, certificate and identity files used in public key
       cryptography.  These  files  are  used  for  cookie  encryption, digital signature and challenge/response
       identification algorithms compatible with the Internet standard security infrastructure.
