ndnsec-export

Usage

$ ndnsec-export [-h] [-o output] identity

Description

ndnsec-export exports the default certificate of an identity and its private key as a file. It will ask for a passphrase to encrypt the private key. The output file can be imported again with ndnsec-import command.

Options

-h

Print a help message.

-o output

Write to an output file instead of the standard output.

-P passphrase

Passphrase to use for the export. If not specified (or specified an empty passphrase), the user is interactively asked to input the passphrase on the terminal. Note that specifying passphrase via -P is insecure, as it can potentially end up in shell history, be visible in ps output, etc.

identity

The identity name.

Examples

Export an identity’s default certificate and private key into a file:

$ ndnsec-export -o alice.ndnkey /ndn/test/alice

Export an identity’s default certificate and private key to the standard output:

$ ndnsec-export /ndn/test/alice
