    <para>
      <command>pkcs11-keygen</command> causes a PKCS#11 device to generate
      a new key pair with the given <option>label</option> (which must be
      unique) and with <option>keysize</option> bits of prime.

          <para>
            Specify the key algorithm class: Supported classes are RSA,
            DSA, DH, ECC and ECX. In addition to these strings, the
            <option>algorithm</option> can be specified as a DNSSEC
            signing algorithm that will be used with this key; for
            example, NSEC3RSASHA1 maps to RSA, ECDSAP256SHA256 maps
            to ECC, and ED25519 to ECX.  The default class is "RSA".

            and the default is 256. For ECX kyes, the only valid values
            are 256 and 456, and the default is 256.

            The allows the private key data to be read from the PKCS#11
            device.  The default is for private keys to be sensitive and
