.Sh NAME
.It rsa_keygen_bits : Ns Ar numbits
(RSA)
The number of bits in the generated key.
-If not specified 1024 is used.
+If not specified 2048 is used.
.It rsa_keygen_pubexp : Ns Ar value
(RSA)
The RSA public exponent value.
.It Ar numbits
The size of the private key to generate in bits.
This must be the last option specified.
-The default is 512.
+The default is 2048.
.El
.Sh GENRSA NOTES
RSA private key generation essentially involves the generation of two prime
Therefore the number of bits should not be less that 64.
For typical private keys this will not matter because for security reasons
they will be much larger
-.Pq typically 1024 bits .
+.Pq typically 2048 bits .
