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.
