<p>
<span class="command"><strong>pkcs11-keygen</strong></span> causes a PKCS#11 device to generate
a new RSA key pair with the specified <code class="option">label</code> and
with <code class="option">keysize</code> bits of modulus.

<div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
<dt><span class="term">-P</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Set the new private key to be non-sensitive and extractable.
The allows the private key data to be read from the PKCS#11
device. The default is for private keys to be sensitive and
non-extractable.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-m <em class="replaceable"><code>module</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify the PKCS#11 provider module. This must be the full
path to a shared library object implementing the PKCS#11 API
for the device.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>slot</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Open the session with the given PKCS#11 slot. The default is
slot 0.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-e</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use a large exponent.

<p>
Create the key pair with <code class="option">keysize</code> bits of
modulus.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-l <em class="replaceable"><code>label</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Create key objects with the given label.
This name must be unique.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-i <em class="replaceable"><code>id</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Create key objects with id. The id is either
an unsigned short 2 byte or an unsigned long 4 byte number.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-p <em class="replaceable"><code>PIN</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify the PIN for the device. If no PIN is provided on the
command line, <span class="command"><strong>pkcs11-keygen</strong></span> will prompt for it.
