ndnsec-export

ndnsec-export is a tool to export an identity’s security data

Usage

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

Description

ndnsec-export can export public data of the identity including default key/certificate. ndnsec-export can also export sensitive data (such as private key), but the sensitive data will be encrypted. The exported identity can be imported again using ndnsec-import.

By default, the command will write exported data to standard output.

Options

-o output

Output the exported data to a file pointed by output.

-p

Export private key of the identity. A password will be asked for data encryption.

Examples

Export an identity’s security data including private key and store the security data in a file:

$ ndnsec-export -o id.info -p /ndn/test/alice

Export an identity’s security data without private key and write it to standard output:

$ ndnsec-export /ndn/test/alice
