PyPI’s New Archival Feature Closes a Major Security Gap
PyPI now allows maintainers to archive projects, improving security and helping users make informed decisions about their dependencies.
Generate a RSA PEM key pair from pure JS
var keypair = require('keypair');
var pair = keypair();
console.log(pair);

Performance greatly depends on the bit size of the generated private key. With 1024 bits you get a key in 0.5s-2s, with 2048 bits it takes 8s-20s, on the same machine. As this will block the event loop while generating the key, make sure that's ok or to spawn a child process or run it inside a webworker.

: the size for the private key in bits. Default: 2048.e
