Generate KSM Key
----------------
Import of key material to an YK-KSM is typically always done via the
OpenPGP encrypted/signed
link:Key_Provisioning_Format.adoc[Key Provisioning Format]. This setup
assumes that each YK-KSM system has a private key.
Below is a walk-through of a typical key generation session for a host
called 'crater'. As you can see at the end, it generated a key with a
key id of '8B88A11B'.
After this step you may want to generate AES keys for your YubiKeys,
see link:Generate_Keys.adoc[Generate Keys], and then import them to your
KSM, see link:Import_Keys_To_KSM.adoc[Import Keys To KSM].

You need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user ID
from the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:

You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
