Openssl Generate Rsa Key Pair
How to generate keys in PEM formatusing the OpenSSL command line tools?
RSA keys
Create an RSA key pair by using an application such as OpenSSL, and upload the public key to the AWS Management Console. See the procedure To create an RSA key pair and upload the public key in the AWS Management Console. Apr 15, 2020 The ability to create, manage, and use public and private key pairs with KMS enables you to perform digital signing operations using RSA and Elliptic Curve (ECC) keys. You can also perform public key encryption or decryption operations using RSA keys. For example, you can use ECC or RSA private keys to generate digital signatures.
To generate a set of RSA keys with PuTTYgen: Start the PuTTYgen utility, by double-clicking on its.exe file; For Type of key to generate, select RSA; In the Number of bits in a generated key field, specify either 2048 or 4096 (increasing the bits makes it harder to crack the key by brute-force methods. Makes initial auth a bit slower but the.
The JOSE standard recommends a minimum RSA key size of 2048 bits.

Elliptic Curve keys
To generate an EC key pair the curve designation must be specified. Note thatJOSE ESxxx signatures require P-256, P-384 and P-521 curves (see theircorresponding OpenSSL identifiers below).

PEM key parsing in Java
The BouncyCastle library provides a simpleutility to parse PEM-encoded keys in Java, to use them for JWS or JWE later.
For Maven you should include the following BouncyCastle dependencies (where1.52 is the latest stable version as of May 2015):
Example parsing of an PEM-encoded EC key in Java:
You may generate an RSA private key with the help of this tool. Additionally, it will display the public key of a generated or pasted private key.
Description
RSA is an asymmetric encryption algorithm. With a given key pair, data that is encrypted with one key can only be decrypted by the other. This is useful for encrypting data between a large number of parties; only one key pair per person need exist. RSA is widely used across the internet with HTTPS.
To generate a key pair, select the bit length of your key pair and click Generate key pair. Depending on length, your browser may take a long time to generate the key pair. A 1024-bit key will usually be ready instantly, while a 4096-bit key may take up to several minutes. For a faster and more secure method, see Do It Yourself below.
CryptoTools.net does not yet have a tool for facilitating the encryption and decryption of data using RSA, but you may Do It Yourself with the instructions below.
Do It Yourself
For these steps, you will need a command line shell with OpenSSL. Ideally, you should have a private key of your own and a public key from someone else. For demonstration, we will only use a single key pair.
Generate Private Key
Run this command to generate a 4096-bit private key and output it to the private.pem file. If you like, you may change the key length and/or output file.
Derive Public Key
Given a private key, you may derive its public key and output it to public.pem using this command. (You may also paste your OpenSSL-generated private key into the form above to get its public key.)
Encrypt Data
We can now use this key pair to encrypt and decrypt a file, data.txt.
Decrypt Data

Given the encrypted file from the previous step, you may decrypt it like so.
