Class KeyGen

KeyGen class provides functionality to generate cryptographic key pairs.

This class leverages the configured cryptographic provider to create key pairs for various algorithms such as RSA, ECDSA, and EdDSA. The generated keys are returned in standard formats suitable for storage and usage in cryptographic operations.

Example

// Generate an RSA key pair
const { privateKey, publicKey } = await KeyGen.generate({
    algorithm: 'RSA',
    params: {
        modulusLength: 2048,
        publicExponent: new Uint8Array([0x01, 0x00, 0x01]), // 65537
        hash: 'SHA-256'
    }

): Promise<{ privateKey: PrivateKeyInfo; publicKey: SubjectPublicKeyInfo }>
Generates a new key pair.
Parameters
- options: KeyPairGenOptions
  The key generation options
Returns Promise<{ privateKey: PrivateKeyInfo; publicKey: SubjectPublicKeyInfo }>
A PrivateKeyInfo containing the generated key pair
Example
```
// Generate an ECDSA key pair using P-256 curve
const { privateKey, publicKey } = await KeyGen.generate({
    algorithm: 'ECDSA',
    params: {
        namedCurve: 'P-256',
        hash: 'SHA-256'
    }
