java.lang.Object

public class SshKeyPairGenerator extends Object

Generate public/private key pairs.

To generate a new pair use the following code 

 SshKeyPair pair = SshKeyPairGenerator.generateKeyPair(SshKeyPairGenerator.SSH2_RSA, 1024);
To create formatted key file for the public key use: 
 SshPublicKeyFile pubfile = SshPublicKeyFileFactory.create(pair.getPublicKey(), "Some comment",
                SshPublicKeyFileFactory.OPENSSH_FORMAT);
 FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("mykey.pub");
 fout.write(pubfile.getFormattedKey());
 fout.close();
To create a formatted, encrypted private key file use: 
 SshPrivateKeyFile prvfile = SshPrivateKeyFileFactory.create(pair, "my passphrase", "Some comment",
                SshPrivateKeyFileFactory.OPENSSH_FORMAT);
 FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("mykey");
 fout.write(prvfile.getFormattedKey());
 fout.close();
