Everything you need to know is explained in the documentation. Copying from there:

Run this command to generate a certificate:

$ keytool -list -alias alias_name -keystore my-release-key.keystore

(Rename alias_name and my-release-key.keystore to something meaningful)

The result from the above command will be something like this:

Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 94:1E:43:49:87:73:BB:E6:A6:88:D7:20:F1:8E:B5:98

Then go to http://code.google. com/android/maps-api-signup.html and follow the instructions to register your certificate.
