Using Command-Line Options • For RSAv4 keys, --key-size indicates the size of both the signing key and the encryption subkey, which ranges from 1024 bits to 4096 bits with a default value of 2048 bits. To create an RSA key that has different signing and encryption key sizes, you must first create a sign-only RSAv4 key with the desired signing key size. Then, in a separate operation, create an encryption subkey of the desired size. • When generating a subkey, the specified key size is the size of the encryption key generated. • For more information on generating new keys, see Creating a key pair on page 18. For more information on generating subkeys, see Creating subkeys on page 20. For more information on creating keys on a smart card, see Creating a key pair on a smart card on page 20. key-join Use the --key-join option to restore a previously split key. Syntax ebs --key-join Notes Key joins will only be done as an interactive process. The only parameter to this option is the User ID or the Key ID of the key to be joined. The other information is provided via prompts just like in previous releases. key-list Use the --key-list option to display keys on a keyring. For more information or examples of the various listing options, see Key List Displays on page 161. Syntax ebs --key-list [--with-sigs | --with-userids] [--sort [--reverse]] [userid ...] Modifiers --sort Specifies the field you want to sort the keys by. By default, E-Business Server sorts in ascending order (a to z). You can sort by any of the following fields: keysize, subkeysize, keyid, userid, trust, validity, creation, expiration. To list the keys in descending order (z to a), include the --reverse option. --width Sets the number of characters displayed on a line. By default, the key list display is set to an unlimited number of characters. If the information displayed for a key on your keyring exceeds the number of characters allowed, then the user ID is truncated and a dollar sign ($) appears at the end of the user ID indicating that there was more information. The key information is not wrapped to the next line. --with-sigs --with-userids Instructs E-Business Server to also display signatures on keys. Instructs E-Business Server to also display all user IDs on keys. The normal key-list view does not show the list of userids on each key. With this option set, more lines of display are used to provide more information to the user. Notes • When you specify --with-sigs, --with-userids is implied. • If --width is set to less than 50 characters, then 50 is used instead. key-reconstruct Use the --key-reconstruct option to restore a private key, which was previously split into shares, encrypted, and sent to a key reconstruction server.
