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.
