🔑 RSA Key Generator

Generate RSA public/private key pairs for asymmetric encryption and digital signatures

Larger keys are more secure but slower to generate

About RSA Keys:

  • Public Key: Can be shared freely, used for encryption and signature verification
  • Private Key: Must be kept secret, used for decryption and signing
  • Key Size: 2048-bit is standard, 4096-bit for maximum security
  • Format: PEM format (Base64-encoded with headers)
  • Use Cases: SSL/TLS certificates, SSH keys, digital signatures, secure communication

⚠️ Security Warning:

  • Private Key Security: Never share your private key with anyone
  • Storage: Store private keys securely with proper file permissions (chmod 600 on Unix)
  • Password Protection: This tool generates unencrypted keys - consider encrypting your private key
  • Production Use: For production systems, use established key management tools
