The premise of dumpon -k foo.pem is that dump contents will be confidential except to anyone holding the corresponding RSA private key. This guarantee breaks down when weak RSA keys are used. Small RSA keys (e.g. 512 bits) can be broken on a single personal computer in tractible time. Marginal RSA keys (768 bits) can be broken by EC2 and a few dollars. Even 1024 bit keys can probably be broken by sophisticated and wealthy attackers. NIST SP800-57 (2016) recommends a minimum of 2048 bit RSA keys, and estimates this provides 112 bits of security. It would also be good to protect users from weak values of 'e' (i.e., 3) and perhaps sanity check that their public key .pem does not accidentally contain their private key as well. These considerations are left as future work. Reviewed by: markj, darius AT dons.net.au (previous version) Discussed with: bjk Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D17678

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
