@cindex NTP symmetric key file format

# EDIT THIS FILE WITH CAUTION (invoke-ntp.keys.texi)
#
# It has been AutoGen-ed November 21, 2016 at 08:01:58 AM by AutoGen 5.18.5

This document describes the format of an NTP symmetric key file.
For a description of the use of this type of file, see the
"Authentication Support"
section of the
@code{ntp.conf(5)}
page.
@code{ntpd(8)}
reads its keys from a file specified using the
@code{-k}
command line option or the
@code{keys}
statement in the configuration file.
While key number 0 is fixed by the NTP standard
(as 56 zero bits)
and may not be changed,
one or more keys numbered between 1 and 65534
may be arbitrarily set in the keys file.
The key file uses the same comment conventions
as the configuration file.
Key entries use a fixed format of the form
@example
@kbd{keyno} @kbd{type} @kbd{key} @kbd{opt_IP_list}
@end example
where
@kbd{keyno}
is a positive integer (between 1 and 65534),
@kbd{type}
is the message digest algorithm,
and
@kbd{key}
is the key itself, and
@kbd{opt_IP_list}
is an optional comma-separated list of IPs
that are allowed to serve time.
If
@kbd{opt_IP_list}
is empty,
any properly-authenticated server message will be
accepted.
The
@kbd{key}
may be given in a format
controlled by the
@kbd{type}
field.
The
@kbd{type}
@code{MD5}
is always supported.
If
@code{ntpd}
was built with the OpenSSL library
then any digest library supported by that library may be specified.
However, if compliance with FIPS 140-2 is required the
@kbd{type}
must be either
@code{SHA}
or
@code{SHA1}.
What follows are some key types, and corresponding formats:
@table @asis
@item @code{MD5}
The key is 1 to 16 printable characters terminated by
an EOL,
whitespace,
or
a
@code{#}
(which is the "start of comment" character).
@item @code{SHA}
@item @code{SHA1}
@item @code{RMD160}
The key is a hex-encoded ASCII string of 40 characters,
which is truncated as necessary.
@end table
Note that the keys used by the
@code{ntpq(8)}
and
@code{ntpdc(8)}
programs are checked against passwords
requested by the programs and entered by hand,
so it is generally appropriate to specify these keys in ASCII format.
This section was generated by @strong{AutoGen},
using the @code{agtexi-cmd} template and the option descriptions for the @code{ntp.keys} program.
