.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
Packit |
aea12f |
When generating private and public key pairs a difficult question
|
|
Packit |
aea12f |
is which size of "bits" the modulus will be in RSA and the group size
|
|
Packit |
aea12f |
in DSA. The easy answer is 1024, which is also wrong. This function
|
|
Packit |
aea12f |
will convert a human understandable security parameter to an
|
|
Packit |
aea12f |
appropriate size for the specific algorithm.
