[ cipher_generate_key ]

Method

This method generates a new RSA private/public key pair and returns the data as a pair of bytes objects. By default, this method will generate a 2048 bit key.

The modulus size can be explicitly provided, as can the public exponent. The default values are 2048 and 65537.

  • Syntax
cipher_generate_key
cipher_generate_key(4096)
cipher_generate_key(4096, 17)
Examples
  • Beginner

This example creates a new private/public key pair.

Code

local(privKeyBytes, pubKeyBytes) = cipher_generate_key // default 2048 bits

#privKeyBytes
'\n'
#pubKeyBytes

Result
