function generateKeyPair

import { generateKeyPair } from "https://deno.land/x/jose@v4.11.2/key/generate_key_pair.ts";

generateKeyPair(alg: string, options?: GenerateKeyPairOptions): Promise<GenerateKeyPairResult>

Generates a private and a public key for a given JWA algorithm identifier. This can only generate asymmetric key pairs. For symmetric secrets use the generateSecret function.

Note: Under Web Cryptography API runtime the privateKey is generated with extractable set to false by default.

Examples

Usage

const { publicKey, privateKey } = await jose.generateKeyPair('PS256')
console.log(publicKey)
console.log(privateKey)

Parameters

alg: string

JWA Algorithm Identifier to be used with the generated key pair.

optional

options: GenerateKeyPairOptions

Additional options passed down to the key pair generation.

Returns

Promise<GenerateKeyPairResult>
