new(p1 = v1, p2 = v2)public
Generates or loads an RSA keypair. If an integer key_size is given it represents the desired key size. Keys less than 1024 bits should be considered insecure.
A key can instead be loaded from an encoded_key which must be PEM or DER encoded. A pass_phrase can be used to decrypt the key. If none is given OpenSSL will prompt for the pass phrase.
Examples
OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new 2048 OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read 'rsa.pem' OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read('rsa.pem'), 'my pass phrase'
