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.
@maxogden found out how to use this module to create entries for the authorized_keys
file:
var keypair = require('keypair');
var forge = require('node-forge');
var pair = keypair();
var publicKey = forge.pki.publicKeyFromPem(pair.public);
var ssh = forge.ssh.publicKeyToOpenSSH(publicKey, 'user@domain.tld');
console.log(ssh);
Get an RSA PEM key pair.
opts
can be
bits
: the size for the private key in bits. Default: 2048.e
: the public exponent to use. Default: 65537.With npm do
$ npm install keypair
To digitalbazaar for their forge project, this library is merely a wrapper around some of forge's functions.
