creates and distributes random pair key in the clear.
Note: this should not be used in production systems.

SSL Authentication "sslauth"
Creates and distribute a random pair key over SSL
mutually authenticated channel. This mechanism assumes the
existance of certificate files for the local user and the public key
certificate file for the CA are available. The public and private
files should be named by the local identity (as defined by the NAME
environment variable). For example, the local user "bob" requires
the public (private) key file in the specificed directory be named
bob.pub (bob.priv). This public key certificate
must be issued (signed with) by the certificate of the CA
private key associated with the public key file described in the
"cafile" filename. For example, if the CA public is placed on the
local machine in the file ca.pub file, the "cafile"
parameter should be specified by "cafile=ca" in the policy.
The acert application provides
interfaces for creating a CA and user certificates.
