silc_ssh_generate_key

SYNOPSIS

    SilcBool silc_ssh_generate_key(const char *algorithm,
                                   int bits_len, SilcRng rng,
                                   const char *subject,
                                   SilcPublicKey *ret_public_key,
                                   SilcPrivateKey *ret_private_key);

DESCRIPTION

Generates new SSH2 key pair. The `algorithm' is either rsa or dsa. The `bits_len' specify the key length in bits. The `subject' is usually the email address of the user creating the key or some other similar subject name. Returns FALSE on error.

EXAMPLE

    silc_ssh_generate_key("dsa", 1024, rng, "foo@example.com",
                          &pubkey, &privkey);
