Are you doing this for a certificate request? openssl genrsa -des3 2048 > mykey.key openssl req -new -key mykey.key -sha256
I do not believe that OpenSSL implements CAST. (the -des3 tells it to use triple-DES; you can instead use -aes256 to use AES at 256 bits.) -Kyle H On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 4:45 PM, Bizhan Gholikhamseh (bgholikh)<bghol...@cisco.com> wrote: > HI > I have never used openssl and need to get some info quickly. > I greatly appreciate if you could help me out by providing me exact > command syntax. > > I am suppose to create "2048-bit RSA PGP private & public key pair". > With a preferred CAST cipher and SHA-2 256 hash. > > Could I use openssl to do this? > If so what is the command line syntax to do this? > > Many thanks in advance, > B > ______________________________________________________________________ > OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org > User Support Mailing List openssl-us...@openssl.org > Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org > ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
