openssl_pkey_new — Generates a new private key

Описание

resource openssl_pkey_new ([ array $configargs ] )

openssl_pkey_new() generates a new private and public key pair. The public component of the key can be obtained using openssl_pkey_get_public().

Забележка: За да работи правилно тази функция, трябва да имате валидно инсталиран openssl.cnf. Вижте бележките под раздела за инсталация за повече информация.

Параметри

configargs: You can finetune the key generation (such as specifying the number of bits) using configargs . See openssl_csr_new() for more information about configargs .

Връщани стойности

Returns a resource identifier for the pkey on success, or FALSE on error.

If you want to change the default private key size (1024) too something else you can use the following code:

 

<?php 

$config = array('private_key_bits' => 512);

$privKey = openssl_pkey_new($config);



?>



Mind though that the minimum number of bits is 384. Any lower will trigger an error.

It's easier than all that, if you just want the keys:



<?php

// Create the keypair

$res=openssl_pkey_new();



// Get private key

openssl_pkey_export($res, $privkey);



// Get public key

$pubkey=openssl_pkey_get_details($res);

$pubkey=$pubkey["key"];

?>

As you probably found, getting the public key is not as direct as you might think with this documentation.



You can easily get into messages like:



Warning: openssl_pkey_get_public(): Don't know how to get public key from this private key (the documentation lied) in D:\www\keys.php on line 4



The correct steps to get the whole thing seem to be these:



<?

$dn = array("countryName" => 'XX', "stateOrProvinceName" => 'State', "localityName" => 'SomewhereCity', "organizationName" => 'MySelf', "organizationalUnitName" => 'Whatever', "commonName" => 'mySelf', "emailAddress" => 'user@domain.com');

$privkeypass = '1234';

$numberofdays = 365;



$privkey = openssl_pkey_new();

$csr = openssl_csr_new($dn, $privkey);

$sscert = openssl_csr_sign($csr, null, $privkey, $numberofdays);

openssl_x509_export($sscert, $publickey);

openssl_pkey_export($privkey, $privatekey, $privkeypass);

openssl_csr_export($csr, $csrStr);



echo $privatekey; // Will hold the exported PriKey

echo $publickey;  // Will hold the exported PubKey

echo $csrStr;     // Will hold the exported Certificate

?>



Now all you need to do is to make some research on each individual function.
