signer.util.keygen¶

This File contains functions to create Public and Private Keys.

Functions¶

`generate_private_key`(algorithm_oid_str, curve_name, ...)	This Function generates a Private Key. Which later on is used to get public Key.
`load_private_key_object`(pem_str)	This function loads a private key from PEM format.

signer.util.keygen.generate_private_key(algorithm_oid_str, curve_name, key_size)[source]¶

This Function generates a Private Key. Which later on is used to get public Key.

Parameters:

algorithm_oid_str (str) – oid string of the algorithm to use.
curve_name (str | None) – curve name which is used to generate the private key (either of two is used).
key_size (int | None) – length of the private key (either of two is used).

Returns:

Gives out the private key. In string pem format.

Return type:
