What is a key pair?
A key pair contains a private key that must remain secret and a public key that may be shared.

About this Tool
Use this public and private key generator to create RSA, ECDSA or Ed25519 key material for testing and development. Keys are generated locally, and private keys should be protected before storage or transfer.
Examples
- Generate an RSA key pair
- Generate an ECDSA P-256 key pair
- Generate an Ed25519 key pair
Frequently Asked Questions
Which algorithm should I choose?
The correct algorithm depends on the protocol and compatibility requirements. ECDSA and Ed25519 are commonly used for signatures, while RSA has broad legacy support.
Are private keys uploaded?
No. Key generation and export take place locally in your browser.
