🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the ndnsec-sign-req page from ndn-cxx: NDN C++ library with eXperimental eXtensions — manual tag ND...REQ(1), iconic behavior only. 💅

ndnsec-sign-req — generate an NDN certificate signing request. that's the whole assignment. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ndnsec sign-req [-h] [-k] name

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so what it does: it generates a signing request for a key and prints it to the standard output in Base64 encoding. lowkey important note: a signing request is essentially just a self-signed certificate. no cap. 💫

By default, name is interpreted as an identity name, and the signing request is generated for that identity's default key. so if you just hand it a name, it's gonna vibe with that identity's default key. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -k, --key — interpret name as a key name instead of an identity name. that's the whole switch-up, bestie. 💅
  • -h — okay so -h shows up in the synopsis, but this page doesn't give it its own description. not me inventing lore — I'm just telling you it's there. 🙈
