One of the most common forms of cryptography today is public-key cryptography helps to communicate two system by encrypting information using the public key and information can be decrypted using private key. These keys are using mainly on login to server securely and also transferring data securely.

We can generate these private public keys by various ways.

Please delete colons ':' and new lines for the private key and the public key and fill 'EC private key (hex)' and 'EC public key (hex)' in above form and choose proper curve name, then you can use them for signing and verification. Generate an ed25519 SSH keypair- this is a new algorithm added in OpenSSH. Ssh-keygen -t ed25519 Extracting the public key from an RSA keypair. Openssl rsa -pubout -in privatekey.pem -out publickey.pem Extracting the public key from an DSA keypair. Openssl dsa -pubout -in privatekey.pem -out publickey.pem Copy the public key to the server.

Generate private key - compress private key - generate public key Generate private key - generate public key - compress public key I have tested both using openssl and I believe the answer is yes, but was hoping someone with an understanding of the underlying math could confirm before I assume this is always true.

1) By using openssl.

with password encryption

Generate public key:

2) By using ssh keygen

3) using putty-gen for windows.

Download puttyGen from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and run it.

You can select one of the key types, SSH-1, SSH-2, and SSH-2 DSA.
SSH-2 is probably better than others but you have to make sure if your system supports SSH-2, if your system ( server) doesnt support it then you better off with SSH-1. /download-gta-5-key-generator-for-pc-no-survey.html.

Level of encryption can be set from “Number of bits in a generated key” . Security level can be enhance by using 2048 but again make sure where you are using it and thus follow the recommendation for this value. I prefer 2048 but even with 1024 is much more secure.

Click on generate to create keys. Move your mouse over the empty space to help puttygen to genereate random variables.

Once the key is generated you will see following window.

If you want to login without password ( in case of ssh login) you can put your passphase empty. click on Save Public key and Save private key to save your keys.

When you save private key it will be saved in ppk format which you can use putty to login to your system.

We can get private key for openSSH by clicking on Conversions->Export OpenSSH key

If you want to use ssh to login with these generated key / pair then
copy public key ( mykey.pub) to .ssh/authorized_key.

Key pair generation in elliptic curve follows the same principles as the other algorithms, the main difference being that, unlike algorithms such as RSA, elliptic curve keys exist only in the context of a particular elliptic curve and require to have curve parameters associated with them to be of any use.

Having said that, there is one anomaly with elliptic curve over other algorithms in that there are two APIs supported by the provider for using them. The reason for this is that JDK elliptic curve support was only introduced with the release of JDK 1.5. Prior to that providers supporting elliptic curve had to include some provider specific classes to allow it to be used, and as Bouncy Castle has supported elliptic curve since release 1.04 it had to provide it's own API.

Other than differences in parameters the generation of elliptic curve keys is identical for both Fp and F2m. Cyberghost activation key generator 2015.

Like other asymmetric algorithms, elliptic curve private keys produce DER encodings of PKCS8 PrivateKeyInfo objects and elliptic curve public keys produce DER encodings of X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo objects.

The following example shows a simple case of copying a key pair using the getEncoded() method on the public and private keys and the X509EncodedKeySpec and PKCS8EncodedKeySpec classes.

The Bouncy Castle API for elliptic curve consists of a collection of interfaces and classes defined in org.bouncycastle.jce, org.bouncycastle.jce.interfaces, and org.bouncycastle.jce.spec packages which provide provider specific support for elliptic curve keys, parameters, and named curve handling.

Key Pair Generation

Key pair generation can be done using explicitly created parameters or by retrieving a named curve from a lookup table.

From Explicit Parameters

An org.bouncycastle.jce.ECParameterSpec is required to construct an elliptic curve key. The long way of creating one of these is to create the ECParameterSpec object from a Bouncy Castle ECCurve object and an associated base point and order.

Normally you'd only do this if the curve you want is not already present in one of the named curve tables (see below), but if you had a set of parameters you wanted to use it would look something like this:

As you can see it is a two step process. First you need to create the curve and then you need to associate the curve with a base point and an order using an ECParameterSpec which is then used to initialise the KeyPairGenerator object.

From Named Curves

Named curves are handled in the Bouncy Castle provider by associating a parameter set with a name using an extension of ECParameterSpec, ECNamedCurveParameterSpec, which can be found in org.bouncycastle.jce.spec. Normally you would not create one of these parameter spec objects directly, but you would retrieve it from one of the two lookup tables in org.bouncycastle.jce - ECNamedCurveTable if you are using ECDSA, or ECGOST3410NamedCurveTable if you are using GOST310-2001. Both classes support a getNames() method which will tell you what named curves are currently supported.

Assuming you were wanting to use the X9.62 curve prime192v1, the code would look something like this:

Using a KeyFactory

From Explicit Parameters

The Bouncy Castle provider also supports key spec objects for cases where the key material is already available and the use of a KeyPairGenerator is not required. In this case the regular KeyFactory class is used and the Bouncy Castle specific classes ECPublicKeySpec and ECPrivateKeySpec are used to hold the material for the public and private keys respectively.

As you can see the first step is identical to that used for the KeyGenerator, except this time the ECParameterSpec is used to create an ECPrivateKeySpec containing the private value and the parameters, and an ECPublicKeySpec containing the public point and the curve parameters.

These can then be passed to a KeyFactory as follows:

and the resulting keys can then be used as the ones produced by the KeyPairGenerator were.

With Named Curves

As with the key pair generation example, if you know the curve associated with the keys you have been given is for a named curve, you can replace the construction of the ECParmeterSpec above with a named curve lookup using one of the named curve tables from org.bouncycastle.jce.

If you are using JDK 1.5 or later there is local support in the JDK for generation of elliptic curve keys.

Key Pair Generation

With Explicit Parameters

If you're using explicit parameters to generate keys:

With Named Curves

The JDK also supports the use of Named Curves using the ECGenParameterSpec, which simply passes the name of the curve to the provider for interpretation. For example to use the X9.62 curve prime192v1 with the Bouncy Castle provider to generate an Elliptic Curve key pair the code would look something like the following:

Using a KeyFactory

With Explicit Parameters

As can be seen in the following code, the explicit parameters case for JDK 1.5 follows the same steps as for the Bouncy Castle provider as can be seen in the following code:

Generate Secp256k1 Key From Password Windows 10

The one difference of note is the use of the ECPointUtil class to handle an encoded point. The is a Bouncy Castle specific class which can be used to convert point encodings into JDK ECPoint objects. In the case where the point would have been added from its base BigInteger objects the following code could replace the call the ECPointUtil:

With Named Curves

This case isn't actually directly supported in the JDK. Bouncy Castle does provide a helper class org.bouncycastle.jce.spec.ECNamedCurveSpec which can be used to wrap the return value from the named curve tables provided in org.bouncycastle.jce:
