	Key generation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Key generation is the process of generating keys for cryptography.
		A key is used to encrypt and decrypt whatever data is being encrypted/decrypted.
		Distributed key generation: For some protocols no party should be in the sole posession of the secret key.

	RFC 2631 (rfc2631) - Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method
		Key and Parameter Requirements X9.42 requires that the group parameters be of the form p=jq + 1 where q is a large prime of length m and j>=2.
		Generation of p, q This algorithm generates a p, q pair where q is of length m and p is of length L. Set m' = m/160 where / represents integer division with rounding upwards.
		It depends on the length of the symmetric key (typically, a 2^l security level if the length is l bits); the size of the prime q (a 2^{m/2} security level); and the size of the prime p (where the security level grows as a subexponential function of the size in bits).

	Certicom \| Certicom Intellectual Property \| Key Generation
		One patent protects against poorly generated keys by teaching that before the output of a random number generator is accepted as a private key, said output must pass certain pre-determined tests.
		An integer for a private key is generated utilising a pair of components that are combined in a fixed predictable manner.
		The first component is generated from a sequencer such as a counter that generates non-repeating distinct value and the second component is generated in a random manner.

	ssh-keygen - authentication key generation
		Normally this program generates the key and asks for a file in which to store the private key.
		The passphrase may be empty to indicate no passphrase (host keys must have empty passphrase), or it may be a string of arbitrary length.
		It is possible to specify a passphrase when generating the key; that passphrase will be used to encrypt the private part of this file using 3DES.

	SshKeyGeneration - Seattle Wireless (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The key is usually kept in a file that resides in the directory identified as --sysconfdir during the build process (typically /etc).
		Additionally, the RSA key is typically used by default when a server identifies itself (can someone ellaborate on this?) You can generate the keys using a similar procedure.
		Once the key is generated, the task then becomes letting the remote server know your public key.

		The passphrase may be empty to indicate no passphrase (host keys must have an empty passphrase), or it may be a string of arbitrary length.
		For RSA1 keys, there is also a comment field in the key file that is only for convenience to the user to help identify the key.
		Another alternative would be to store your private keys on a floppy disk or better yet a smartcard, in which case you would only need to keep the floppy or smartcard physically secure.

	SSH: Key Generation
		Public key authentication is based on the use of digital signatures.
		One of these key files is the user's public key, and the other is the user's private key.
		The user is authenticated by signing the challenge using her private key.

	Public Key Token Generation Algorithm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The algorithm’s core is in generation of the SHA1 hash of the Public Key.
		The Public Key Token generated from both ‘snkeypair.snk’ and ‘snpublickey.snk’ matches that generated by the sn.exe which proves the algorithm is correct.
		The Public Key Token is the 'reversed last 8 bytes of the SHA-1 hash of the public key'.

	Critique of PGP Key Generation
		Key generation is probably the weakest link in PGP, or indeed within any RSA system.
		PGP 2.6.3ia (that is 2.6.3 with Stale's patch) and being of a paranoid disposition (just as Phil recommends we should be), I decided to inspect the source code for the Key Generation part to see if it contained anything that might compromise the security of the keys that are generated.
		So it is still possible to generate each and every one of the possible keys, even when starting from a known time of day and a known number of ticks since boot time.

	CERT Advisory CA-2000-09 Flaw in PGP 5.0 Key Generation
		Under certain circumstances, PGP v5.0 generates keys that are not sufficiently random, which may allow an attacker to predict keys and, hence, recover information encrypted with that key.
		Keys produced non-interactively with PGP v5.0 on a system with a /dev/random device may be predictable, especially those produced in an environment without a pre-existing randseed.bin file.
		Documents encrypted with a predictable key may need to be re-encrypted with a non-vulnerable key, if your particular circumstances warrant it; that is, if the information still needs to be encrypted.

		Public keys in public/private key pairs (owned by the operator) are stored as attributes of the associated private keys in the private key database.
		RSA public and private keys are generated using the method specified in PKCS #1.
		In the NSS cryptographic module, the CKA_ID attribute of a public key or private key is the SHA-1 hash of (a component of) the (associated) public key.

	XEP-0185: Dialback Key Generation and Validation
		The Originating Server, which generates the dialback key, and the Authoritative Server, which validates the dialback key, may reside on different hosts or be running in separate processes.
		The dialback keys generated for the originating domains 'example.com' and 'example.net' are the same, which might disclose that the secret used to generate the keys for these domains is equal.
		If the key generation method does not take into account a shared secret in the Authoritative Servers network or if this secret is disclosed and the key generation method is known, an attacker can generate valid dialback keys.

		The results show that the proposed approach of key generation is user-friendly, reliable and secure.
		We introduce a framework to generate stable cryptographic keys from biometric data that is unstable in nature.
		In order to generate a reliable bio-key, an optimal thresholding method is proposed to minimize the authentication error rate, in terms of the false accept rate (FAR) and the false reject rate (FRR).

		The public key can be used to encrypt a message, and only the holder of the private key can decrypt it.
		The public key can only be used for encryption, and the private key can only be used for decryption of a message encoded by the matching public key.
		The private key is the one thing that grants us access to our remote systems, and anyone that possesses our private key is granted exactly the same privileges that we are.

	OpenSSH Public Key Authentication
		Key generation may vary under different implementations of SSH.
		This script maps public keys stored in a filesystem repository to specific accounts on various classes of systems, allowing a user key to be replicated to all systems the user has access to.
		If SSH agent forwarding is disabled, a private key must be available on the proxy system that is recognized by the server being connected to.

	Department: Computing: SSH keys and SSH key generation
		The passphrase is basically the password for your key and the simplest approach is not to set a passphrase.
		There is a problem with this: if your private key is stored unprotected on your own computer (meaning an empty passphrase), then anybody who gains access to it will be able to generate signatures as if they were you.
		Now that you have generated your key, you will need to put your public key in the authorized keys file on all of the machines you want to connect to using ssh.

	One-Time/Periodic Key Generation
		The system generates keys (Secret Keys/Passwords or Public/Private Key pairs), which are sent to the “customers” in a form of an encrypted binary file.
		To access any key the master password need to be keyed in or sent to the dll, which in turn delivers the key and other data.
		The set of generated Encrypted Keys could be downloaded periodically and stored on local PC for integration with specialized applications.

	Primary Key generation - dBforums
		Using a separate table to generate key values stinks as you can see, because to guarantee uniqueness you have to lock the table, which means only one person can insert a record at a time - which is no way for a serious database to work.
		And the generation of the key with a table, is the way we do it.
		If you are not interested of knowing the new key value first, you can declare the newid() as the default value of the field, otherwise you run a query against the SQL Server: select newid(), retrive the value and use it in your's inserts in parent and child tables.

	User/Server key generation and signing
		The user generates a key pair for a certificate to be used by that user or any entity that needs to be authenticated by the CA.
		The key pair is encrypted with 3DES with a password supplied by the user during key generation.
		The reader should note that this is the same procedure as the generation of the CA key–pair.

	7.3 Key Generation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Careful key generation is a sometimes overlooked but absolutely essential element in any cryptographically secure system.
		The strongest algorithms used with the longest keys are still of no use if an adversary can guess enough to lower the size of the likely key space so that it can be exhaustively searched.
		It is strongly recommended that key generation also occur off-line, perhaps on the machine used to sign zones (see Section 7.2).
