GeneratedPrivateKey (System function)
Generate an RSA private key (System class)
[Requires Janus Network Security]
This method generates a binary string that contains a base64 encoded RSA private key.
Syntax
%privateKey = %(System):GeneratedPrivateKey[( [[Length=] number], - [[Exponent=] number], - [[Salt=] string])]
Syntax terms
| %privateKey | A Longstring to contain the generated private key. |
|---|---|
| %(System) | The class name in parentheses denotes a shared method. GeneratedPrivateKey can also be invoked by a System object variable, which may be Null. |
| Length | This optional, name allowed, parameter specifies the number of bits in the private key. The value must be at least 64 and no greater than 2048. The default is 512. |
| Exponent | This optional, name allowed, parameter specifies the number of bits in the public exponent (E). This must be either 3 or 65537 (X'10001'). The default is 3. |
| Salt | This optional, name allowed, parameter is a string that contains seed data for a random number generator. |
Usage notes
- GeneratedPrivateKey is available for use by Model 204 V7.5 or greater or by Janus Network Security customers.
Examples
In the following example, the GeneratedPrivateKey method loads a private key into a Longstring, and the RSAPrivateKeyToXmlDoc method converts the string to an XmlDoc from which its value is printed:
b %ls is longstring %ls = %(System):generatedPrivateKey(Length=512) %ls:RSAPrivateKeyToXmlDoc:print end
The abridged result is:
