Looks good, a couple of suggested rewordings in the second sentence:


The `-signer` and `-signerkeypass` options have been added to the 
`-genkeypair` command of the `keytool` utility. The `-signer` option 
specifies the keystore alias of a signer and the `-signerkeypass` option 
specifies the password used to protect the signer’s private key. These 
options allow `keytool -genkeypair` to sign the certificate using the 
signer’s private key. This is especially useful for generating a 
certificate with a key agreement algorithm as its public key algorithm.
