Generate and write a pair of RSA keys

Description

rsa_keygen() generates a pair of RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) private and public keys for your project.

Usage

rsa_keygen(dir = "./inst/ssh", password = NULL, bits = 2048)

Arguments

dir	(optional) a string specifying the directory to save the generated keys (default: "./inst/ssh")
password	(optional) a string specifying the password to protect the private key. If NULL, the private key will not be protected (default: NULL).
bits	(optional) an integer number specifying the length of the RSA key in bits (default: 2048).

Value

An invisible NULL. This function is called for side effects only.
