When generating a private key various symbols will be output to indicate the progress of the generation. A <strong>.</strong> represents each number which has passed an initial sieve test, <strong>+</strong> means a number has passed a single round of the Miller-Rabin primality test, <strong>*</strong> means the current prime starts a regenerating progress due to some failed tests. A newline means that the number has passed all the prime tests (the actual number depends on the key size).</p> <p>Because key generation is a random process the time taken to generate a key may vary somewhat. But in general, more primes lead to less generation time of a key.</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="see_also">SEE ALSO</a></h1> <p><em>gendsa(1)</em></p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="copyright">COPYRIGHT</a></h1> <p>Copyright 2000-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
