ndnsec-cert-gen

ndnsec-cert-gen is a tool to issue an identity certificate.

Usage

$ ndnsec-cert-gen [-h] [-S timestamp] [-E timestamp] [-I info] [-s sign-id] [-i issuer-id] request

Description

ndnsec-cert-gen takes signing request as input and issues an identity certificate for the key in the signing request. The signing request can be created during ndnsec-keygen and can be re-generated with ndnsec-sign-req.

By default, the default key/certificate will be used to sign the issued certificate.

request could be a path to a file that contains the signing request. If request is -, then signing request will be read from standard input.

The generated certificate will be written to standard output in base64 encoding.

Options

-S timestamp

Timestamp when the certificate becomes valid. The default value is now.

-E timestamp

Timestamp when the certificate expires. The default value is one year from now.

-I info

Other information to be included in the issued certificate. For example,

-I "affiliation Some Organization" -I "homepage http://home.page/"

-s sign-id

Signing identity. The default key/certificate of sign-id will be used to sign the requested certificate. If this option is not specified, the system default identity will be used.

-s issuer-id

Issuer’s ID to be included as part of the issued certificate name. If not specified, “NA” value will be used

$ ndnsec-cert-gen -S 20140401000000 -E 20150331235959 -N "David"
