    Generating a Private and Public Key Pair for Digital Certificates for an ES PIC

    To generate a private and public key, issue the following command:

    user@host> request security key-pair name size key-size type ( rsa | dsa )

    name specifies the filename in which to store the public and private keys.

    key-size can be 512, 1024, 1596, or 2048 bytes. The default key size is 1024 bytes.

    type can be rsa or dsa. The default is RSA.

    Note: When you use SCEP, the Junos OS only supports RSA.

    The following example shows how to generate a private and public key pair:

    user@host> request security key-pair battGenerated key pair, key size 1024, file batt Algorithm RSA
