.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBpkcs11\-keygen\fR
causes a PKCS#11 device to generate a new RSA key pair with the specified
\fBlabel\fR
and with
\fBkeysize\fR
bits of modulus.
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.PP
\-P
.RS 4
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.
.RE
.PP
\-m \fImodule\fR
.RS 4
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.
.RE
.PP
\-s \fIslot\fR
.RS 4
Open the session with the given PKCS#11 slot. The default is slot 0.
.RE
.PP
\-e
.RS 4
Use a large exponent.
.RE
.PP
\-b \fIkeysize\fR
.RS 4
Create the key pair with
\fBkeysize\fR
bits of modulus.
.RE
.PP
\-l \fIlabel\fR
.RS 4
Create key objects with the given label. This name must be unique.
.RE
.PP
\-i \fIid\fR
.RS 4
Create key objects with id. The id is either an unsigned short 2 byte or an unsigned long 4 byte number.
.RE
.PP
\-p \fIPIN\fR
.RS 4
Specify the PIN for the device. If no PIN is provided on the command line,
\fBpkcs11\-keygen\fR
will prompt for it.

.SH "CAVEAT"
.PP
Some PKCS#11 providers crash with big public exponent.
