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.

Setting a Path to the Key Files

You must set an environment variable to establish a location for the key ﬁles.

At the C shell prompt, enter

setenv WF_KEY_FILE_PATH <n>

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.
