Oooook, so while i'm not on the leaderboard (yet), switzerland is.....
Wer ist sonst noch aus der Schweiz?!
Müssen ja ein paar der 'leader' sein
Speaking of this...
Gratulations to the 122'000 mark!

strongimcv_pki---gen
PKI --GEN(1) strongSwan PKI --GEN(1)
NAME
pki --gen - Generate a new RSA or ECDSA private key
SYNOPSIS
pki --gen [--type type] [--size bits] [--safe-primes] [--shares n] [--threshold l] [--outform encoding] [--debug level]
pki --gen --options file
pki --gen -h | --help
DESCRIPTION
This sub-command of pki(1) is used to generate a new RSA or ECDSA private key.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Print usage information with a summary of the available options.
-v, --debug level
Set debug level, default: 1.
-+, --options file
Read command line options from file.
-t, --type type
Type of key to generate. Either rsa or ecdsa, defaults to rsa.
-s, --size bits
Key length in bits. Defaults to 2048 for rsa and 384 for ecdsa. For ecdsa only three values are currently supported: 256, 384 and
521.
-p, --safe-primes
Generate RSA safe primes.
-f, --outform encoding
Encoding of the generated private key. Either der (ASN.1 DER) or pem (Base64 PEM), defaults to der.
RSA Threshold Cryptography
-n, --shares <n>
Number of private RSA key shares.
-l, --threshold <l>
Minimum number of participating RSA key shares.
PROBLEMS ON HOSTS WITH LOW ENTROPY
If the gmp plugin is used to generate RSA private keys the key material is read from /dev/random (via the random plugin). Therefore, the
command may block if the system's entropy pool is empty. To avoid this, either use a hardware random number generator to feed /dev/random
or use OpenSSL (via the openssl plugin or the command line) which is not as strict in regards to the quality of the key material (it reads
from /dev/urandom if necessary). It is also possible to configure the devices used by the random plugin in strongswan.conf(5). Setting
libstrongswan.plugins.random.random to /dev/urandom forces the plugin to treat bytes read from /dev/urandom as high grade random data, thus
avoiding the blocking. Of course, this doesn't change the fact that the key material generated this way is of lower quality.
EXAMPLES
pki --gen --size 3072 > rsa_key.der
Generates a 3072-bit RSA private key.
pki --gen --type ecdsa --size 256 > ecdsa_key.der
Generates a 256-bit ECDSA private key.
