# Command: operator keygen
|
|
|
|
The `operator keygen` command generates an encryption key that can be used for
|
|
Nomad server's gossip traffic encryption. The keygen command uses a
|
|
cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generator to generate the key.
|
|
|
|
The resulting key is encoded in the [RFC4648] "URL and filename safe" base64
|
|
alphabet. If you use another tool such as OpenSSL to generate the gossip key,
|
|
you should pipe the input through the `base64(1)` command to ensure it is
|
|
safely encoded. For example: `openssl rand 32 | base64`
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
nomad operator keygen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ nomad operator keygen
