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.

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.
