DESCRIPTION

19       The  ickey  command  is used to install WAN boot keys on a running UNIX
20       system so that they can be used the next time the system is  installed.
21       You  can  store three different types of keys: 3DES and AES for encryp‐
22       tion and an HMAC SHA-1 key for hashed verification.
23
24
25       ickey reads the key from standard input using getpassphrase(3C) so that
26       it  does  not  appear  on  the  command line. When installing keys on a
27       remote system, you must take proper precautions to ensure that any key‐
28       ing  materials  are kept confidential. At a minimum, use ssh(1) to pre‐
29       vent interception of data in transit.
30
31
32       Keys are expected to be presented as  strings  of  hexadecimal  digits;
33       they can (but need not) be preceeded by a 0x or 0X.
