To use RSA with Mbed TLS or any other application, you will most likely need an RSA key pair. An RSA key pair is often stored in either a PEM file or a DER file.
Building the RSA key pair generator
Mbed TLS ships with the source code for an RSA key pair generator application, called gen_key. To build the executable for the application, please check out the building Mbed TLS.
- Ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C 'RSA 4096 bit Keys' Generate an DSA SSH keypair with a 2048 bit private key. Ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 1024 -C 'DSA 1024 bit Keys' Generate an ECDSA SSH keypair with a 521 bit private key. Ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521 -C 'ECDSA 521 bit Keys' Generate an ed25519 SSH keypair- this is a new algorithm added in OpenSSH.
- Usage Guide - RSA Encryption and Decryption Online. In the first section of this tool, you can generate public or private keys. To do so, select the RSA key size among 515, 1024, 2048 and 4096 bit click on the button.
RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is one of the first public-key cryptosystems and is widely used for secure data transmission. In such a cryptosystem, the encryption key is public and distinct from the decryption key which is kept secret (private). In RSA, this asymmetry is based on the practical difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime numbers, the 'factoring problem'.
After the compilation, the executable is often located in programs/pkey/gen_key
.
The gen_key application has the following arguments and options:
Generating an RSA key pair
To actually generate an RSA key pair, you have to decide which size your RSA key should be. Depending on your need for security, we advise you to use at least 2048 bits, and use 4096 bits or higher if you have very high security requirements.
Rsa Key Pair Generator C Program
To use the RSA key pair generator to generate a 4096 bits RSA key and save that key in PEM format in private.key, use:
The larger the requested keysize, the longer it will take to generate the key itself. You also need to take into account the performance of the system.
The key generator also outputs the key in human readable format in addition to writing the key to the requested keyfile in the requested format.
