.SH NAME
.LP
tor-gencert \- Generate certs and keys for Tor directory authorities
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBtor-gencert\fP\ [-h|--help] [-v] [-r|--reuse] [--create-identity-key] [-i \fIid_file\fP] [-c \fIcert_file\fP] [-m \fInum\fP] [-a \fIaddress\fP:\fIport\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBtor-gencert\fR generates certificates and private keys for use by Tor
directory authorities running the v3 Tor directory protocol, as used by Tor
0.2.0 and later. If you are not running a directory authority, you don't
need to use tor-gencert.
.PP
Every directory authority has a long term authority \fIidentity key\fP (which
is distinct from the identity key it uses as a Tor server); this key should
be kept offline in a secure location. It is used to certify shorter-lived
\fIsigning keys\fP, which are kept online and used by the directory authority
to sign votes and consensus documents.
.PP
After you use this program to generate a signing key and a certificate, copy
those files to the keys subdirectory of your Tor process, and send Tor a
SIGHUP signal. DO NOT COPY THE IDENTITY KEY.
.SH OPTIONS
\fB-v\fP
Display verbose output.
.LP
.TP
\fB-h\fP or \fB--help\fP
Display help text and exit.
.LP
.TP
\fB-r\fP or \fB--reuse\fP
Generate a new certificate, but not a new signing key. This can be
used to change the address or lifetime associated with a given key.
.LP
.TP
\fB--create-identity-key\fP
Generate a new identity key. You should only use this option the first
time you run tor-gencert; in the future, you should use the identity
key that's already there.
.LP
.TP
\fB-i \fR\fIFILENAME\fP
Read the identity key from the specified file. If the file is not present
and --create-identity-key is provided, create the identity key in the
specified file. Default: "./authority_identity_key"
.LP
.TP
\fB-s \fR\fIFILENAME\fP
Write the signing key to the specified file. Default:
"./authority_signing_key"
.LP
.TP
\fB-c \fR\fIFILENAME\fP
Write the certificate to the specified file.
Default: "./authority_certificate"
.LP
.TP
\fB-m \fR\fINUM\fP
Number of months that the certificate should be valid. Default: 12.
.LP
.TP
\fB--passphrase-fd \fR\fIFILEDES\fP
Filedescriptor to read the file descriptor from. Ends at the first
NUL or newline. Default: read from the terminal.
.LP
.TP
\fB-a \fR\fIaddress\fR:\fIport\fP
If provided, advertise the address:port combination as this authority's
preferred directory port in its certificate. If the address is a hostname,
the hostname is resolved to an IP before it's published.
.SH BUGS
This probably doesn't run on Windows. That's not a big issue, since we
don't really want authorities to be running on Windows anyway.

NAME
----
tor-gencert - Generate certs and keys for Tor directory authorities
SYNOPSIS
--------
**tor-gencert** [-h|--help] [-v] [-r|--reuse] [--create-identity-key] [-i __id_file__] [-c
__cert_file__] [-m __num__] [-a __address__:__port__]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
**tor-gencert** generates certificates and private keys for use by Tor
directory authorities running the v3 Tor directory protocol, as used by
Tor 0.2.0 and later. If you are not running a directory authority, you
don't need to use tor-gencert. +
Every directory authority has a long term authority __identity__ __key__ (which
is distinct from the identity key it uses as a Tor server); this key
should be kept offline in a secure location. It is used to certify
shorter-lived __signing__ __keys__, which are kept online and used by the
directory authority to sign votes and consensus documents. +
After you use this program to generate a signing key and a certificate,
copy those files to the keys subdirectory of your Tor process, and send
Tor a SIGHUP signal. DO NOT COPY THE IDENTITY KEY.
OPTIONS
-------
**-v**::
Display verbose output.
**-h** or **--help**::
Display help text and exit.
**-r** or **--reuse**::
Generate a new certificate, but not a new signing key. This can be used to
change the address or lifetime associated with a given key.
**--create-identity-key**::
Generate a new identity key. You should only use this option the first time
you run tor-gencert; in the future, you should use the identity key that's
already there.
**-i** __FILENAME__::
Read the identity key from the specified file. If the file is not present
and --create-identity-key is provided, create the identity key in the
specified file. Default: "./authority_identity_key"
**-s** __FILENAME__::
Write the signing key to the specified file. Default:
"./authority_signing_key"
**-c** __FILENAME__::
Write the certificate to the specified file. Default:
"./authority_certificate"
**-m** __NUM__::
Number of months that the certificate should be valid. Default: 12.
**--passphrase-fd** __FILEDES__::
Filedescriptor to read the file descriptor from. Ends at the first NUL or
newline. Default: read from the terminal.
**-a** __address__:__port__::
If provided, advertise the address:port combination as this authority's
preferred directory port in its certificate. If the address is a hostname,
the hostname is resolved to an IP before it's published.
BUGS
