--osh selfGenerateEgressKey --algo ALGO --size SIZE [--encrypted]
.. program:: selfGenerateEgressKey
.. option:: --algo ALGO
Specifies the algo of the key, either rsa, ecdsa or ed25519.
.. option:: --size SIZE
Specifies the size of the key to be generated.
For RSA, choose between 2048 and 8192 (4096 is good).
For ECDSA, choose either 256, 384 or 521.
For ED25519, size is always 256.
.. option:: --encrypted
if specified, a passphrase will be prompted for the new key
A quick overview of the different algorithms:

Ed25519 : robustness[###] speed[###]
ECDSA : robustness[##.] speed[###]
RSA : robustness[#..] speed[#..]
