Cryptographic Key Generation

Secure Key Generation Guide

Cryptographic keys are the foundation of secure communications and data protection. Our tool generates keys using industry-standard algorithms with proper entropy sources.

Supported Key Types:

  • AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): Symmetric keys for block encryption, supports 128/192/256-bit keys
  • RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman): Asymmetric keys for public-key cryptography, supports 1024/2048/4096-bit keys
  • DES (Data Encryption Standard): Legacy symmetric encryption, 56-bit effective key length
  • ChaCha20: Modern stream cipher, 256-bit keys for high-performance encryption
  • Blowfish: Fast symmetric block cipher, supports 32-448 bit keys

Key Formats:

  • Hexadecimal: Human-readable format using 0-9 and A-F characters
  • Base64: Compact encoding using A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, and / characters
  • Binary: Raw binary representation for direct use
  • PEM: Privacy-Enhanced Mail format for RSA keys
Best Practices: Use AES-256 for symmetric encryption, RSA-2048 or higher for asymmetric encryption. Always use cryptographically secure random number generators and store keys in secure key management systems.
