[ic] Generating Keys & Applying Signatures

[ETH Zurich]

Thanks for ur reply Dan!

There is a problem with generating a PGP key-pair for a customer. The 
command requires the entering of a passphrase and some random keystrokes. 
How do I:

1. Make it work in such a way that the passphrase for the key-pair is the 
same as the customer's login password; i.e extract the login password of the 
customer from the user database and feed it directly into the commandline?

2. Skip the usual process of entering some random keystrokes for the 
generating of the key-pair so that everything will be done automatically and 
the key-pair saved onto disc?

Thanks in advanced!
