+ <p>
+ <span class="command"><strong>pkcs11-keygen</strong></span> causes a PKCS#11 device to generate
+ a new key pair with the given <code class="option">label</code> (which must be
+ unique) and with <code class="option">keysize</code> bits of prime.

+
+ <div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
+<dt><span class="term">-a <em class="replaceable"><code>algorithm</code></em></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Specify the key algorithm class: Supported classes are RSA,
+ DSA, DH, ECC and ECX. In addition to these strings, the
+ <code class="option">algorithm</code> can be specified as a DNSSEC
+ signing algorithm that will be used with this key; for
+ example, NSEC3RSASHA1 maps to RSA, ECDSAP256SHA256 maps
+ to ECC, and ED25519 to ECX. The default class is "RSA".

+<dt><span class="term">-b <em class="replaceable"><code>keysize</code></em></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Create the key pair with <code class="option">keysize</code> bits of
+ prime. For ECC keys, the only valid values are 256 and 384,
+ and the default is 256. For ECX kyes, the only valid values
+ are 256 and 456, and the default is 256.

+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term">-e</span></dt>

+ For RSA keys only, use a large exponent.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term">-i <em class="replaceable"><code>id</code></em></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Create key objects with id. The id is either
+ an unsigned short 2 byte or an unsigned long 4 byte number.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term">-m <em class="replaceable"><code>module</code></em></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Specify the PKCS#11 provider module. This must be the full
+ path to a shared library object implementing the PKCS#11 API
+ for the device.

+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Set the new private key to be non-sensitive and extractable.
+ The allows the private key data to be read from the PKCS#11
+ device. The default is for private keys to be sensitive and
+ non-extractable.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term">-p <em class="replaceable"><code>PIN</code></em></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Specify the PIN for the device. If no PIN is provided on
+ the command line, <span class="command"><strong>pkcs11-keygen</strong></span> will
+ prompt for it.
+ </p>
+ </dd>

+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term">-S</span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ For Diffie-Hellman (DH) keys only, use a special prime of
+ 768, 1024 or 1536 bit size and base (aka generator) 2.
+ If not specified, bit size will default to 1024.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>slot</code></em></span></dt>
