💖 ND...ORT(1) — ndnsec-import import slay 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the ND...ORT(1) page for ndnsec-import, straight out of ndn-cxx: NDN C++ library with eXperimental eXtensions. This is the little command that imports an NDN certificate and its private key from a file, and we're gonna walk it together, no cap 🫶✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ndnsec-import — import an NDN certificate and its private key from a file 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, the shape is literally:

ndnsec import [-h] [-P passphrase] file

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so the tea: this imports a certificate and its private key from a file in SafeBag format. It's giving “secure little bundle,” and the command will interactively ask for a passphrase that gets used for decrypting the private key. yes, it wants the passphrase, it's not being nosy, it's doing decryption 💖

if file is "-", then the SafeBag data will be read from the standard input. cute, right? 🦋

and if you need to make one of these files in the expected format, ndnsec-export can be used to create a file in the expected format. teamwork, periodt.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -P <passphrase>, --password <passphrase> — passphrase to use for decryption. If empty or not specified, the user is interactively asked to type the passphrase on the terminal.
⚠️ note that specifying the passphrase via this option is insecure, as it can potentially end up in the shell's history, be visible in ps output, and so on. like, bestie, please be careful with that one 😭

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

import a certificate and private key from a file, bestie:

$ ndnsec import alice.ndnkey
