I need to know how to generate 'rsa' key-pair on the client-side using angular2. I need to generate private/public key pair and save the private key into database and want to use public key inside the client side. How can I implement this?

I found this for generating key pair. But its for node? Can I implement it into my client side? If yes how? Is any other way to implement this?

• What do you mean with and save the private key into database ?. Do you want to store the key into the IndexedDB in browser? – pedrofb Commented Jun 21, 2017 at 11:48

• For security reasons it is not remended to send a private key along the network. If you need it in the server, generate the keypair in the server and send the public key to browser – pedrofb Commented Jun 23, 2017 at 6:03

you must use https://github./juliangruber/keypair library

then import it in angular ponent like

import * as keypair from 'keypair';

and use library method

const pubprivkey = keypair();
console.log(pubprivkey);

it will return object of RSA public and private key

{ public: '-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----\r\nMIGJAoGBAM3CosR73CBNcJsLvAgMBAAE=\r\n-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----\n',
  private: '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\r\nMIICXAIBAAKBgQDNwqLEe9wgTXNHoyxi7Ia\r\nPQUCQCwWU4U+v4lD7uYBw00Ga/xt+7+UqFPlPVdz1yyr4q24Zxaw0LgmuEvgU5dycq8N7Jxj\r\nTubX0MIRR+G9fmDBBl8=\r\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n' }
