zerotier-idtool

Create and manipulate ZeroTier identities. See also: zerotier-cli, zerotier-one. More information: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/blob/dev/doc/zerotier-idtool.1.md.

• Generate a new ZeroTier identity and output the secret part to stdout:

zerotier-idtool generate

• Generate a new ZeroTier identity and save the secret and public parts to files:

zerotier-idtool generate {{path/to/identity.secret}} {{path/to/identity.public}}

• Generate a new ZeroTier identity with a specific hexadecimal vanity prefix (can take a long time):

zerotier-idtool generate {{path/to/identity.secret}} {{path/to/identity.public}} {{vanity_prefix}}

• Extract the public portion from a secret identity:

zerotier-idtool getpublic {{path/to/identity.secret}}

• Sign a file using a secret identity:

zerotier-idtool sign {{path/to/identity.secret}} {{path/to/file}}

• Verify a signed file using a public identity and a hexadecimal signature:

zerotier-idtool verify {{path/to/identity.public}} {{path/to/file}} {{signature_hex}}

• Locally validate an identity's key and proof of work:

zerotier-idtool validate {{path/to/identity.public}}

• Display help:
