.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBickey\fR command is used to install WAN boot keys on a running UNIX system so that they can be used the next time the system is installed. You can store three different types of keys: 3DES and AES for encryption and an HMAC SHA-1 key for hashed verification.
.sp
.LP
\fBickey\fR reads the key from standard input using \fBgetpass\fR(3C) so that it does not appear on the command line. When installing keys on a remote system, you must take proper precautions to ensure that any keying materials are kept confidential. At a minimum, use \fBssh\fR(1) to prevent interception of data in transit.
.sp
.LP
Keys are expected to be presented as strings of hexadecimal digits; they can (but need not) be preceded by a \fB0x\fR or \fB0X\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBickey\fR command has a single option, described below. An argument of the type \fB-o\fR\ \fBtype=\fR\fIkeytype\fR is required.
