NAME
       oct-admin-generate - Generate a Key on the card

SYNOPSIS
       oct admin generate <-o|--output> [--no-dec] [--no-aut] <-u|--userid>
       [-p|--user-pin] [-h|--help] [algorithm]

DESCRIPTION
       Generate a Key on the card.

       A signing key is always created, decryption and authentication keys are
       optional.

OPTIONS
       -o, --output <output>
              Output file

       --no-dec
              Do not create a key in the DEC slot

       --no-aut
              Do not create a key in the AUT slot

       -u, --userid <User ID>
              User ID to add to the exported certificate representation

       -p, --user-pin <User PIN file>
              Optionally, get User PIN from a file

       -h, --help
              Print help (see a summary with '-h')

       [algorithm]
              Choose the algorithm for the key material to generate on the
              card.

                  If the parameter is not given, use the algorithm currently
              set on the card.

                  Specific cards support a set of algorithms that can differ
              between models. On modern cards,
                  use 'oct info' to see the list of supported algorithms.
