Security Warning
While this tool uses industry-standard cryptographic methods and runs entirely locally, you should always follow your organization's security policies when handling private keys for production environments. For high-security applications, consider using offline hardware security modules (HSMs) or established CLI tools like OpenSSL on an air-gapped machine.
How RSA Generation Works
RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is a public-key cryptosystem. Key generation involves choosing two large prime numbers and calculating a modulus. The security of RSA relies on the practical difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime numbers.
RSA Key Pair Generator FAQs
Is this RSA generator secure?
Yes. All key generation is performed locally in your browser using the native Web Crypto API. Your private keys never leave your machine and are never sent to our servers.
What key sizes are supported?
We support 2048-bit, 3072-bit, and 4096-bit RSA keys. 2048-bit is the current standard for most applications, while 4096-bit offers future-proof security.
What formats are the keys in?
The keys are exported in PEM format. The Private Key uses PKCS#8 encoding, and the Public Key uses SPKI (Subject Public Key Info) encoding, which are compatible with most modern software like OpenSSL and Java.
Do I need an internet connection?
While you need to load the page initially, the actual key generation logic runs entirely on your local CPU once the page is loaded.
