[ cipher_generate_key ]
Method
This method generates a new RSA private/public key pair and returns the data as a pair of bytes objects. By default, this method will generate a 2048 bit key.
The modulus size can be explicitly provided, as can the public exponent. The default values are 2048 and 65537.
