Generate RSA keys in PKCS#1, PKCS#8 or BER format.

Long-form PKCS#1 field names are used for parameter names, not their (rather terse) RSA counterparts.

rsaPrivateKey(options)

• options {Object}
  • modulus {BigInt|Buffer|Uint8Array} RSA n parameter.
  • publicExponent {BigInt|Buffer|Uint8Array} RSA e parameter.
  • privateExponent {BigInt|Buffer|Uint8Array} RSA d parameter.
  • prime1 {BigInt|Buffer|Uint8Array} RSA p parameter.
  • prime2 {BigInt|Buffer|Uint8Array} RSA q parameter.
  • exponent1 {BigInt|Buffer|Uint8Array} RSA dp parameter, d % (p - 1).
  • exponent2 {BigInt|Buffer|Uint8Array} RSA dq parameter, d % (q - 1).
  • coefficient {BigInt|Buffer|Uint8Array} RSA inverseQ parameter, q * inverseQ === 1 % p.
• Returns: {Array} BER-encoded RSA private key.

Keep prime1, prime2 and privateExponent secure at all times; the security of the private key depends on it.

const {rsaPrivateKey} = require('bursar')
const modulus = 0xBAD5ECn	// insecure; example only
const publicExponent = 0x2n
const privateExponent = 0xBAD5ECn
const prime1 = 0xBAD5ECn
const prime2 = 0xBAD5ECn
const exponent1 = 0xBAD5ECn
const exponent2 = 0xBAD5ECn
const coefficient = 0xBAD5ECn
const options = {modulus, publicExponent, privateExponent, prime1, prime2, exponent1, exponent2, coefficient}
const key = rsaPrivateKey(options)
console.log(key)
// <Buffer 30 30 02 01 00 02 04 00 ba d5 ec 02 01 02 02 04 00 ba d5 ec 02 04 00

rsaPrivateKey.pkcs1(options)

Like rsaPrivateKey() but the result is returned as a PKCS#1-encoded string.

const {rsaPrivateKey} = require('bursar')
const modulus = 0xBAD5ECn	// insecure; example only
const publicExponent = 0x2n
const privateExponent = 0xBAD5ECn
const prime1 = 0xBAD5ECn
const prime2 = 0xBAD5ECn
const exponent1 = 0xBAD5ECn
const exponent2 = 0xBAD5ECn
const coefficient = 0xBAD5ECn
const options = {modulus, publicExponent, privateExponent, prime1, prime2, exponent1, exponent2, coefficient}
const key = rsaPrivateKey.pkcs1(options)
console.log(key)
// -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
// MDACAQACBAC61ewCAQICBAC61ewCBAC61ewCBAC61ewCBAC61ewCBAC61ewCBAC6
// 1ew=
// -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

rsaPrivateKey.pkcs8(options)

Like rsaPrivateKey() but the result is returned as a PKCS#8-encoded string.

const {rsaPrivateKey} = require('bursar')
const modulus = 0xBAD5ECn	// insecure; example only
const publicExponent = 0x2n
const privateExponent = 0xBAD5ECn
const prime1 = 0xBAD5ECn
const prime2 = 0xBAD5ECn
const exponent1 = 0xBAD5ECn
const exponent2 = 0xBAD5ECn
const coefficient = 0xBAD5ECn
const options = {modulus, publicExponent, privateExponent, prime1, prime2, exponent1, exponent2, coefficient}
const key = rsaPrivateKey.pkcs8(options)
console.log(key)
// -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
// MEYCAQAwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQAEMjAwAgEAAgQAutXsAgECAgQAutXsAgQAutXs
// AgQAutXsAgQAutXsAgQAutXsAgQAutXs
// -----END PRIVATE KEY-----

rsaPublicKey(options)

• options {Object}
  • modulus {BigInt|Buffer|Uint8Array} RSA n parameter.
  • publicExponent {BigInt|Buffer|Uint8Array} RSA e parameter.
• Returns: {Array} BER-encoded RSA public key.

const {rsaPublicKey} = require('bursar')
const modulus = 0xBAD5ECn	// insecure; example only
const publicExponent = 0x2n
const key = rsaPublicKey({modulus, publicExponent})
console.log(Buffer.from(key))
// <Buffer 30 09 02 04 00 b4 d5 ec 02 01 02>

rsaPublicKey.pkcs1(options)

Like rsaPublicKey() but the result is returned as a PKCS#1-encoded string.

const {rsaPublicKey} = require('bursar')

const publicExponent = 0x2n
const key = rsaPublicKey.pkcs1({modulus, publicExponent})
console.log(key)
