CryptoKey
Inherits Resource
A cryptographic key (RSA or elliptic-curve).
Description
The CryptoKey class represents a cryptographic key. Keys can be loaded and saved like any other Resource. They can be used to generate a self-signed X509Certificate via Crypto.generate_self_signed_certificate() and as private key in StreamPeerTLS.accept_stream() along with the appropriate certificate.
Methods
bool is_public_only() const
bool is_public_only() constReturns true if this CryptoKey only has the public part, and not the private one.
int load(String path, bool public_only = false)
int load(String path, bool public_only = false)Loads a key from path. If public_only is true, only the public key will be loaded. Note: path should be a "*.pub" file if public_only is true, a "*.key" file otherwise.
int load_from_string(String string_key, bool public_only = false)
int load_from_string(String string_key, bool public_only = false)Loads a key from the given string_key. If public_only is true, only the public key will be loaded.
int save(String path, bool public_only = false)
int save(String path, bool public_only = false)Saves a key to the given path. If public_only is true, only the public key will be saved. Note: path should be a "*.pub" file if public_only is true, a "*.key" file otherwise.
String save_to_string(bool public_only = false)
String save_to_string(bool public_only = false)Returns a string containing the key in PEM format. If public_only is true, only the public key will be included.
