Generate a PGP Key Pair

function GeneratePGPKeys(keyPairName: string, directory: string, bits: number): boolean;

Generates a new RSA PGP key pair and saves the armored public and private keys as separate files in directory. The key files are named after keyPairName with .pubkey and .privkey extensions.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
keyPairName	string	Base name for the key files (no extension)
directory	string	Directory where the key files will be saved
bits	number	RSA key size in bits (recommended: 2048 or 4096)

• The public key will be saved as <directory>/<keyPairName>.pubkey
• The private key will be saved as <directory>/<keyPairName>.privkey

Returns

Return value	Explanation
true	Key pair generated successfully
false	Generation failed (invalid path, insufficient permissions, etc.)

NOTE

Always protect your private key files. Use secure file permissions and consider storing the key path in the secret store rather than hardcoding it in your script.

Example

// Generate a 4096-bit RSA key pair for alice
var ok = GeneratePGPKeys("alice", "/keys", 4096);
if (ok) {
  Log("Key pair generated: /keys/alice.pubkey and /keys/alice.privkey");
} else {
  Log("Key generation failed.");
}
