3.1.5 PKey objects
The PKey object has the following methods:
- bits()
-
Return the number of bits of the key.
- generate_key(type, bits)
-
Generate a public/private key pair of the type type (one of
TYPE_RSA and TYPE_DSA) with the size bits.
- type()
-
Return the type of the key.
- check()
-
Check the consistency of this key, returning True if it is consistent and
raising an exception otherwise. This is only valid for RSA keys. See the
OpenSSL RSA_check_key man page for further limitations.
