sq-key-generate(1) on Linux
The text bc8ef9468cf0, as Debian 11 (Bullseye) shipped it.
Generates a new key Generating a key is the prerequisite to receiving encrypted messages and creating signatures. There are a few parameters to this process, but we provide reasonable defaults for most users. When generating a key, we also generate a revocation certificate. This can be used in case the key is superseded, lost, or compromised. It is a good idea to keep a copy of this in a safe place. After generating a key, use "sq key extract-cert" to get the certificate corresponding to the key. The key must be kept secure, while the certificate should be handed out to correspondents, e.g. by uploading it to a keyserver.
