The generated JWK conforms to RFC7517 and can be used to sign and encrypt data using JWT, JWS, and JWE. Files containing private keys are encrypted by default. You'll be prompted for a password. Keys are written with file mode **0600** (i.e., readable and writable only by the current user). All flags are optional. Defaults are suitable for most use cases. ## POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS : Path to which the the public JWK should be written : Path to which the (JWE encrypted) private JWK should be written ## EXIT CODES This command returns 0 on success and \>0 if any error occurs. ## SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS All security considerations from **step help crypto** are relevant here. **Preventing hostile disclosure of non-public key material** : It is critical that any private and symmetric key material be protected from unauthorized disclosure or modification. This includes the private key for asymmetric key types (RSA, EC, and OKP) and the shared secret for symmetric key types (oct). One means of protection is encryption. Keys can also be stored in hardware or software "security enclaves" such as HSMs and TPMs or operating system keychain management tools. **Key provenance and bindings** : Key provenance should always be scrutinized. You should not trust a key that was obtained in an untrustworthy manner (e.g., non-TLS HTTP). : Usually applications use keys to make authorization decisions based on attributes "bound" to the key such as the key owner's name or role. In these scenarios the strength of the system's security depends on the strength of these "bindings". There are a variety of mechanisms for securely binding attributes to keys, including: * Cryptographically binding attributes to the public key using x509 certificates (e.g., as defined in PKIX / RFC2580) * Cryptographically binding attributes to the public key using JWTs * Storing the public key or (hashed) shared secret along with the bound attributes in a secure database : Cryptographic mechanisms require establishing a "root of trust" that can sign the bindings (the certificates or JWTs) asserting that the bound attributes are correct. ## STANDARDS [RFC7517] : Jones, M., "JSON Web Key (JWK)", https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7517 [RFC7518] : Jones, M., "JSON Web Algorithms (JWA)", https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7518 [RFC7638] : M.
