Generating keys

The following shows basic/default settings to make these keys, preferably add passphrases and more bytes for security.

RSA

openssl genrsa -out priv_key.pem 2048

openssl rsa -in priv_key.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out pub_key.pem

ECDSA: ES256

openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out priv_ecdsa.pem

openssl pkey -in priv_ecdsa.pem -pubout > pub_ecdsa.pem

ECDSA: ES512

openssl ecparam -name secp521r1 -genkey -noout -out priv_ecdsa.pem

openssl ec -in priv_ecdsa.pem -pubout -out pub_ecdsa.pem
