Creating Seeds on a UNIX Platform
To create a seed on a UNIX platform:
1.
Set the environment variable for the path to the key files.
2.
If you want to set a length other than the default value (128 bits) for the
LTSSs, change the value before you generate the seeds.
3.
Enter the WEP
wfkseed
command.
Each of these steps is detailed in the following sections.
Setting a Path to the Key Files
You must set an environment variable to establish a location for the key files.
1.
Insert your choice of removable media in an available drive attached to
the UNIX workstation.
2.
At the C shell prompt, enter:
setenv WF_KEY_FILE_PATH
<n>
where
n
is a removable disk that you are using to store the key files.
Changing the Length of the LTSS Key Generator
You can set the length of the RNGs for the LTSSs to a value other than the default
of 128 bits.
At the C shell prompt, enter:
setenv WF_LTSS_KEY_GEN_LEN
<number of bits, from 128 to 248>
Note:
Store the files containing NPKs and LTSSs on removable media, such as
floppy disks, and store that media in a safe place.
