Generate a key pair

You can use openssl if you prefer. The library offers you the possibility to generate one.

With the library :

use Svgta\OidcLib\OidcUtils;
// RSA
  $RsaKey = OidcUtils::genRSAKey();
  // default 2048 length. To change length : Svgta\OidcUtils::genRSAKey(4096);

// EC
  $ECKey = OidcUtils::genEcKey();
  // default curve P-256. To change curve : Svgta\OidcUtils::genEcKey('P-521');

The result is an array given the private and public key in two formats :

• JWK

• PEM

Example of a response :

Array
(
    [JWK] => Array
        (
            [privateKey] => {"kty":"EC","crv":"P-256","d":"2t8bH5rd-VvD_ZuOKIOQXz5UymqMTvnX4gsOTPEzwW8","x":"D2XFGdEmpygLSqqn5SMXeR740smRBfULJet3hzkUZ-Y","y":"Mkis4wh5Ei1ccN3YpgpNeHXtgDXFcaLDlOYTgj-kgwc"}
            [publicKey] => {"kty":"EC","crv":"P-256","x":"D2XFGdEmpygLSqqn5SMXeR740smRBfULJet3hzkUZ-Y","y":"Mkis4wh5Ei1ccN3YpgpNeHXtgDXFcaLDlOYTgj-kgwc"}
        )

    [PEM] => Array
        (
            [privateKey] => -----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----

With openssl

# RSA
openssl genrsa -out key.pem 2048
openssl rsa -in key.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem

# EC
openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out key.pem
openssl ec -in key.pem -pubout -out public.pem
