This simple tool can be used to generate an Ed25519 PKCS#8 and RSA key pairs (private and public key).

There's two methods to run the tool, you can either download or build from source code.

Prebuild apps can be found in Releases.

To verify the package's integrity, download both the app and the checksum file to the same directory:

-rw-r--r--@  1 john  staff   156M 18 Nov 17:02 AsymmetricKeyGenerator-0.5.0-universal.dmg
-rw-r--r--@  1 john  staff   102B 18 Nov 19:01 AsymmetricKeyGenerator-0.5.0-universal.dmg.CHECKSUM

Then run sha256 checksum:

sha256sum -c AsymmetricKeyGenerator-0.5.0-universal.dmg.CHECKSUM

If it passes the integrity check, it'll return AsymmetricKeyGenerator-0.5.0-universal.dmg: OK

Obtain the source code locally and go through the following steps:

// install package
npm install

// run locally
npm run start

// build packages locally into the "dist" folder.
npm run dist

1. Open the app;

2. Choose the key type; Recommend to keep the default value (Ed25519), then click the button Generate Key Pair;

3. Below on the left column is the Private Key, which should be stored in a secure location on your local disk (by using the Save button) and must never be shared with anyone;

4. The right column is the Public Key. Click Save button to save into local disk. This key can be shared with others to verify the Private Key signed data;
