+### Generate Key
+
+This endpoint generates a new private key for use in the PKI mount. This key
+can be used with either the [root](#generate-root) or [intermediate](#generate-intermediate-csr)
+endpoints, using the `type=existing` variant.
+
+If the path ends with `exported`, the private key will be returned in the
+response; if it is `internal` the private key will not be returned and _cannot
+be retrieved later_; if it is `kms`, a [managed keys](#managed-keys) will be
+used.
+
+| Method | Path                               |
+| :----- | :--------------------------------- |
+| `POST` | `/pki/keys/generate/:type`         |
+
+#### Parameters
+
+- `type` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the type of the root to
+  create. If `exported`, the private key will be returned in the response; if
+  `internal` the private key will not be returned and _cannot be retrieved
+  later_; `kms` is also supported: [see below for more details about managed
+  keys](#managed-keys). This parameter is part of the request URL.
+
+- `key_name` `(string: "")` - When a new key is created with this request,
+  optionally specifies the name for this. The global ref `default` may not
+  be used as a name.
+
+- `key_type` `(string: "rsa")` - Specifies the desired key type; must be `rsa`, `ed25519`
+  or `ec`.
+
+~> **Note**: In FIPS 140-2 mode, the following algorithms are not certified
+   and thus should not be used: `ed25519`.
+
+- `key_bits` `(int: 0)` - Specifies the number of bits to use for the
+  generated keys. Allowed values are 0 (universal default); with
+  `key_type=rsa`, allowed values are: 2048 (default), 3072, or
+  4096; with `key_type=ec`, allowed values are: 224, 256 (default),
+  384, or 521; ignored with `key_type=ed25519`.
+
+#### Managed Keys Parameters
+
+See [Managed Keys](#managed-keys) for additional details on this feature, if
+`type` was set to `kms`. One of the following parameters must be set
+
+- `managed_key_name` `(string: "")` - The managed key's configured name.
+
+- `managed_key_id` `(string: "")` - The managed key's UUID.
+
+#### Sample Payload
+
+```json
+{
+  "key_type": "ec",
+  "key_bits": "256",
+  "key_name": "root-key-2022"
+}

+#### Sample Request
