NAME
       mono-configuration-crypto, - Mono configuration utility to manage
       encryption keys and encrypt/decrypt config file sections

SYNOPSIS
       mono-configuration-crypto <options>

DESCRIPTION
       mono-configuration-crypto is a utility to manage mono encryption key
       container store and to encrypt/decrypt config file sections.

OPTIONS
       -h, -?, --help
              Show usage information


       -v, --verbose
              Show verbose information (including exception stacktraces)


       -m, --machine, --global
              Use machine (global) store for all the key actions. Note that on
              Unix machines global store is located in /usr/share/.mono and
              modifying it requires root user permissions.


       -u, --user, --local
              Use local (user) store for all the key actions. User key store
              is located in the $HOME/.config/.mono directory. This is the
              default location used by mono-configuration-crypto.


       -l, --list
              List all the key container names in the store. Note that some
              container names might be just GUID strings.


       -c, --create
              Creates an RSA public/private key pair. If the specified
              container (see the -f option) already exists, the operation will
              fail.


       -i, --import
              Imports key to a container. Imports a key from file (specified
              by the -f option) and puts it as the first key in the specified
              container (see the -n option). If container exists, its first
              key is replaced. If container doesn't exist, it is created. No
              validation is performed on the key value - this is left to the
              protection provider or encryption code which uses the key.


       -x, --export
              Exports key from a container. Exports a key from indicated
              container (see the -n option) and puts it in the specified file
              (see the -f option) as XML. The file can later be used to import
              the key.


       -r, --remove
              Remove a container. Physically removes the container file from
              disk.


       -f, --file=VALUE
              File name for import or export operations. All options which
              read or write anything to/from files require this option to be
              present on the command line.


       -cf, --config-file=VALUE
              Config file name. Specifies base name of the config file, used
              in encrypt and decrypt operations. Files are sought for case-
              insensitively. Defaults to Web.config


       -n, --name=VALUE
              Container name. If this option is absent from the command line
              it defaults to MonoFrameworkConfigurationKey (the default key
              name used by System.Configuration section encryption/decryption
              code)


       -s, --size=VALUE
              Key size. Specifies the key length for the create operation (see
              the -c option). Defaults to 1024.


       -p, --path=VALUE
              Application physical path. Used when encrypting/decrypting
              configuration file sections to specify the directory in which
              the configuration file lives (see the -cf option). Defaults to
              current directory.


       -d, --dec, --decrypt=VALUE
              Decrypt configuration section. Configuration section must follow
              the format used when calling ConfigurationManager.GetSection,
              i.e.: path/to/section. Only sections known to the configuration
              system will be processed.


       -e, --enc, --encrypt=VALUE
              Encrypt configuration section. Configuration section must follow
              the format used when calling ConfigurationManager.GetSection,
              i.e.: path/to/section. Only sections known to the configuration
              system will be processed.
