Generate Method

Generates a new SSH key.

Syntax

int Generate(const QString& qsKeyAlgorithm, const QString& qsScheme, const QString& qsSchemeParams, int iKeyBits);

Remarks

Call this method to generate a new key or keypair with the desired KeyAlgorithmand KeyBits of length.

The generated key will be populated in the Key property.

The KeyAlgorithm parameter supports the following algorithm identifiers:

  • RSA
  • DSS
  • ECDSA
  • EDDSA

If using ECDSA, the following curves are supported (to be passed as the Scheme parameter):

  • NISTP256
  • NISTP384
  • NISTP521
  • NISTK163
  • NISTP192
  • NISTP224
  • NISTK233
  • NISTB233
  • NISTK283
  • NISTK409
  • NISTB409
  • NISTK571

The following curves can also be used with EDDSA:

  • CURVE25519
  • CURVE448

Error Handling

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
