Creates RSA and ECC key pairs for use with MobiLink end-to-end encryption.
Syntaxcreatekey RemarksTo create ECC objects, you must order a separate license. See Separately licensed components.
When you run createkey, you are prompted for the following information:
Choose encryption type This prompt only appears if you have purchased a license for ECC encryption. Choose RSA or ECC.
Enter RSA key length (512-16384) This prompt only appears if you chose RSA encryption. You can choose a length between 512 bits and 16384 bits.
Enter ECC curve This prompt only appears if you have purchased a license for ECC encryption and you chose the ECC encryption type. You are prompted to choose from a list of ECC curves. The default is secp521r1.
The three digit number in the curve name represents the bit-size of the curve. The encryption strength of a curve is approximately equivalent to an AES key of half the size. For example, a 512-bit ECC curve would have the same strength as a 256-bit AES key.
The following ECC curves are supported:
Enter file path to save public key Specify a file name and location for the generated PEM or DER encoded public key. This file is specified on the MobiLink client by the e2ee_public_key protocol option. See e2ee_public_key.
Enter file path to save private key Specify a file name and location for the generated PEM or DER encoded private key. This file is specified on the MobiLink server via the e2ee_private_key protocol option. See -x mlsrv12 option.
Enter password to protect private key Optionally, supply a password with which to encrypt the private key. The private key is not encrypted if you do not supply a password. This password is specified on the MobiLink server via the e2ee_private_key_password protocol option. See -x mlsrv12 option.
