Generating public
and private
keys with openssl
. However the code generates a very long keys and these can't be used in authenticating an API.
$config = array(
"digest_alg" => "sha512",
"private_key_bits" => 4096,
"private_key_type" => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA,
);
$res = openssl_pkey_new($config);
openssl_pkey_export($res, $privKey);
print_r($privKey);
$pubKey = openssl_pkey_get_details($res);
$pubKey = $pubKey["key"];
print_r($pubKey);
Is there a way to generate a 60 char private key? And a 20 char public key which are unique with this technique?
Not with RSA in OpenSSL. Even the lowest bit count of 32 results in a 64 byte private key. Security is also bad with short keys and should be avoided.
Maybe you could implement a token request call with using a long secure key and then use the smaller token for further requests. This limits the data overhead overall. That needs more coding to be done but may be a way to go.
