4. Press ENTER. The private key isgenerated and saved in a file named "rsa.private" located in the samefolder.
NOTE The number"1024" in the above command indicates the size of the private key. Youcan choose one of five sizes: 512, 758, 1024, 1536 or 2048 (these numbersrepresent bits). The larger sizes offer greater security, but this is offsetby a penalty in CPU performance. We recommend the best practice size of 1024.
