Editing asymmetric key properties

Specify asymmetric key options according to your needs. The detailed description is given below.
Name
Define a name for the asymmetric key.
Owner
Specify the owner for the asymmetric key. By default, only the owner of an object can perform various operations with the object. In order to allow other users to operate it, privileges must be granted. (However, users that have the superuser attribute can always access any object.)
Algorithm
If Generate New source type is selected, you should specify an encryption algorithm in this field.
Length
Defines the length of the asymmetric key in bits.
Private Key Encryption
Specifies private key encryption.
Decryption password
Specifies the old password the private key is currently encrypted with.
Encryption password
Specifies a new password for encrypting the private key.
To apply the changes, select the Apply Changes item in the Navigation bar or use Ctrl+F9 or Ctrl+F7 shortcut keys.
It is also possible to modify object properties without opening the object editor: use the Object Properties item of the popup menu of the selected object from the explorer tree.
