function generateKeyPair
import { generateKeyPair } from "https://deno.land/x/jose@v5.9.6/key/generate_key_pair.ts";

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 Crypto API runtime the privateKey is generated with extractable set to false by default. See GenerateKeyPairOptions.extractable to generate an extractable privateKey.

This function is exported (as a named export) from the main 'jose' module entry point as well as from its subpath export 'jose/generate/keypair'.

Type Parameters

KeyLikeType extends KeyLike = KeyLike

Parameters

alg: string

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

optional
