NAME
       ntp-keygen - generate public and private keys

SYNOPSIS
       ntp-keygen [ -deGgHIMnPT ] [ -c [RSA-MD2 | RSA-MD5 | RSA-SHA | RSA-SHA1
       | RSA-MDC2 | RSA-RIPEMD160 | DSA-SHA | DSA-SHA1 ] ] [ -i name  ]  [  -p
       password ] [ -S [ RSA | DSA ] ] [ -s name ] [ -v nkeys ]

DESCRIPTION
       This  program  generates  cryptographic	data  files  used by the NTPv4
       authentication and identification schemes. It generates MD5  key  files
       used  in  symmetric key cryptography. In addition, if the OpenSSL soft
       ware library has been installed, it  generates  keys,  certificate  and
       identity  files	used  in public key cryptography. These files are used
       for cookie encryption, digital signature and challenge/response identi
       fication  algorithms  compatible  with  the  Internet standard security
       infrastructure.
