## Generate RSA Key

Achieves the *fastest possible key generation* using node's native RSA bindings to OpenSSL,
then converts to JWK for ease-of-use.

```
Rasha.generate({ format: 'jwk' }).then(function (keypair) {
  console.log(keypair.private);
  console.log(keypair.public);
});
```

**options**

* `format` defaults to `'jwk'`
  * `'pkcs1'` (traditional)
  * `'pkcs8'` <!-- * `'ssh'` -->
* `modulusLength` defaults to 2048 (must not be lower)
  * generally you shouldn't pick a larger key size - they're slow
  * **2048** is more than sufficient
  * 3072 is way, way overkill and takes a few seconds to generate
  * 4096 can take about a minute to generate and is just plain wasteful

**advanced options**

These options are provided for debugging and should not be used.

* `publicExponent` defaults to 65537 (`0x10001`)

## PEM-to-JWK

* [x] PKCS#1 (traditional)
* [x] PKCS#8, SPKI/PKIX
* [x] 2048-bit, 3072-bit, 4096-bit (and ostensibily all others)
* [x] SSH (RFC4716), (RFC 4716/SSH2)

```js
var Rasha = require('rasha');
var pem = require('fs')
  .readFileSync('./node_modles/rasha/fixtures/privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem', 'ascii');

Rasha.import({ pem: pem }).then(function (jwk) {
  console.log(jwk);
});
```

## JWK-to-PEM

* [x] PKCS#1 (traditional)
* [x] PKCS#8, SPKI/PKIX
* [x] 2048-bit, 4096-bit (and ostensibily all others)
* [x] SSH (RFC4716), (RFC 4716/SSH2)

```js
var Rasha = require('rasha');
var jwk = require('rasha/fixtures/privkey-rsa-2048.jwk.json');

Rasha.export({ jwk: jwk }).then(function (pem) {
  // PEM in PKCS1 (traditional) format
  console.log(pem);
});
```

### Advanced Options

`format: 'pkcs8'`:

The default output format `pkcs1` (RSA-specific format) is used for private keys.
Use `format: 'pkcs8'` to output in PKCS#8 format instead.

```js
Rasha.export({ jwk: jwk, format: 'pkcs8' }).then(function (pem) {
  // PEM in PKCS#8 format
  console.log(pem);
});
```

```

`format: 'ssh'`:

Although SSH uses PKCS#1 for private keys, it uses ts own special non-ASN1 format
(affectionately known as rfc4716) for public keys. I got curious and then decided
to add this format as well.

To get the same format as you
would get with `ssh-keygen`, pass `ssh` as the format option:

```js
Rasha.export({ jwk: jwk, format: 'ssh' }).then(function (pub) {
  // Special SSH2 Public Key format (RFC 4716)
  console.log(pub);
});
```

```
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCba21UHE.....Q02P1Eamz/nT4I3 rsa@localhost
```

`public: 'true'`:

If a private key is used as input, a private key will be output.

If you'd like to output a public key instead you can pass `public: true`.

or `format: 'spki'`.

```js
Rasha.export({ jwk: jwk, public: true }).then(function (pem) {
  // PEM in SPKI/PKIX format
  console.log(pem);
});
```

```

-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
```

Testing
-------

All cases are tested in `test.sh`.

You can compare these keys to the ones that you get from OpenSSL, OpenSSH/ssh-keygen, and WebCrypto:

```bash
# Generate 2048-bit RSA Keypair
openssl genrsa -out privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem 2048

# Convert PKCS1 (traditional) RSA Keypair to PKCS8 format
openssl rsa -in privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem -pubout -out pub-rsa-2048.spki.pem

# Export Public-only RSA Key in PKCS1 (traditional) format
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem -out privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs8.pem

# Convert PKCS1 (traditional) RSA Public Key to SPKI/PKIX format
openssl rsa -in pub-rsa-2048.spki.pem -pubin -RSAPublicKey_out -out pub-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem

# Convert RSA public key to SSH format
ssh-keygen -f ./pub-rsa-2048.spki.pem -i -mPKCS8 > ./pub-rsa-2048.ssh.pub
```

Goals of this project
-----

* Focused support for 2048-bit and 4096-bit RSA keypairs (although any size is technically supported)
* Zero Dependencies
* VanillaJS
* Quality Code: Good comments and tests
* Convert both ways: PEM-to-JWK and JWK-to-PEM (also supports SSH pub files)
* Browser support as well (TODO)
* OpenSSL, ssh-keygen, and WebCrypto compatibility
