<p>Here's an example of a Keytool command that generates a private key:</p>
<pre>$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore
--alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -validity 10000</pre>

<p>Running the example command above, Keytool prompts you to provide
passwords for the keystore and key, and to provide the Distinguished
