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.
