Method: OpenSSL::PKey::RSA#initialize

Defined in:
ossl_pkey_rsa.c

#new ⇒ Object #new(encoded_key[, password ]) ⇒ Object #new(encoded_key) { ... } ⇒ Object #new(size[, exponent]) ⇒ Object

Generates or loads an RSA keypair.

If called without arguments, creates a new instance with no key components set. They can be set individually by #set_key, #set_factors, and #set_crt_params.

If called with a String, tries to parse as DER or PEM encoding of an RSA key. Note that if password is not specified, but the key is encrypted with a password, OpenSSL will prompt for it. See also OpenSSL::PKey.read which can parse keys of any kind.

If called with a number, generates a new key pair. This form works as an alias of RSA.generate.

Examples:

OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new 2048
OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read 'rsa.pem'
OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read('rsa.pem'), 'my password'

Overloads:

  • #new(encoded_key) { ... } ⇒ Object
