OpenSSL "gendsa -des" - DES Encrypt DSA Keys

Q

How to generate a new DSA key pair and encrypt the output with a DES password using OpenSSL "gendsa" command?

✍: FYIcenter.com

A

If you want to secure your new DSA private key with a DES encryption, you can use the OpenSSL "gendsa -des" command as shown below:

C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\openssl\openssl

OpenSSL> gendsa -out my_dsa_2048_des.key -des my_dsa_2048.prm
Generating DSA key, 2048 bits
Enter PEM pass phrase: fyicenter
Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase: fyicenter

Options used in this command are:

"-out my_dsa_2048_des.key" - Save output (the new DSA private and public key) in a file.
"-des" - Encrypt the output with DES algorithm.
"my_dsa_2048.prm" - DSA key generation parameters.
"fyicenter" - The password of the DES encryption.
