You can generate a secure shell (SSH) key pair for an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance on a UNIX or UNIX-like platform by using the ssh-keygen utility.

From your computer, run the ssh-keygen utility.
Specify a filename for the private key. Also specify the RSA type and a size of 2048.
The command format is: ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa -f filename
For example: ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa -f mykey
When prompted, enter a passphrase for the private key, or press Enter to create a private key without a passphrase.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): YourPassphrase
Note:
While a passphrase is not required, Oracle recommends using one as a security measure to protect the private key from unauthorized use. When you specify a passphrase, a user must enter the passphrase every time the private key is used.
If you provided a passphrase, enter it a second time when prompted.

To create a key pair using a third-party tool. Generate a key pair with a third-party tool of your choice. Save the public key to a local file. For example, /.ssh/my-key-pair.pub (Linux) or C:keysmy-key-pair.pub (Windows). The file name extension for this file is not important.
Then, supposing the server supports an alternative algorithm, it will be selecting during normal negotiation. Obviously the downside of this is that if somebody somehow manages to find a server that only supports Diffie-Hellman at 1024 bits or less then this actually means it will not work where it used to work before.
I am trying to generate RSA 1024 key pair (public/private) using the following command openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024 In the server.key file, only RSA private block is there, so where.
I've been searching for some time and have found no way to create a working certificate and private key pair with a DH or ECDH public key using OpenSSL. Once I do this, I'd like to sign it with an.

The ssh-keygen utility creates two files:

filename - The private key
filename.pub - The public key

Download and install the OpenSSL runtimes. If you are running Windows, grab the Cygwin package.

OpenSSL can generate several kinds of public/private keypairs.RSA is the most common kind of keypair generation.^[1]

Other popular ways of generating RSA public key / private key pairs include PuTTYgen and ssh-keygen.^[2]^[3]

Generate an RSA keypair with a 2048 bit private key[edit]

Execute command: 'openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private_key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048'^[4] (previously “openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 2048”)

e.g.

Make sure to prevent other users from reading your key by executing chmod go-r private_key.pem afterward.

Extracting the public key from an RSA keypair[edit]

Execute command: 'openssl rsa -pubout -in private_key.pem -out public_key.pem'

e.g.

A new file is created, public_key.pem, with the public key.

It is relatively easy to do some cryptographic calculations to calculate the public key from the prime1 and prime2 values in the public key file.However, OpenSSL has already pre-calculated the public key and stored it in the private key file.So this command doesn't actually do any cryptographic calculation -- it merely copies the public key bytes out of the file and writes the Base64 PEM encoded version of those bytes into the output public key file.^[5]

Viewing the key elements[edit]

Execute command: 'openssl rsa -text -in private_key.pem'

All parts of private_key.pem are printed to the screen. This includes the modulus (also referred to as public key and n), public exponent (also referred to as e and exponent; default value is 0x010001), private exponent, and primes used to create keys (prime1, also called p, and prime2, also called q), a few other variables used to perform RSA operations faster, and the Base64 PEM encoded version of all that data.^[6](The Base64 PEM encoded version of all that data is identical to the private_key.pem file).

Password-less login[edit]

Often a person will set up an automated backup process that periodically backs up all the content on one 'working' computer onto some other 'backup' computer.

Because that person wants this process to run every night, even if no human is anywhere near either one of these computers, using a 'password-protected' private key won't work -- that person wants the backup to proceed right away, not wait until some human walks by and types in the password to unlock the private key.Many of these people generate 'a private key with no password'.^[7]Some of these people, instead, generate a private key with a password,and then somehow type in that password to 'unlock' the private key every time the server reboots so that automated toolscan make use of the password-protected keys.^[8]^[3]
