Private/Public Keypair generator #147

Open expikr opened 2 years ago

expikr commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's a bit cumbersome to quickly generate keypairs when making wireguard configurations. Example

Describe the solution you'd like Would be nice to have a tool that lets me generate a keypair in one click.

Describe alternatives you've considered For use case of wireguard configs there are various web tools, but it's nicer to have it in a centralized ecosystem of swiss-army devtoys here.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'd be honest, I'm not familiar with wireguard, but it sounds interesting. I will keep this issue opened.

Everyone: please upvote this comment to let us know how priority this tool is.

Hi, just one question, because I see it's not mentioned. What keypair are we talking about? There are a lot of different asymmetric encryption algorithms and standards (e.g. keys pem, pkk, id_rsa, openssl). I believe (but may be wrong) that only one of them is considered here, but which one?

I'd be a great fan of all of them, of course, but I know each should have the own issue and PR ;)

Ah, this suggestion is actually meant to have all of them available in the tool. It wouldn't make sense for a tool to have too narrow of a scope.

I'm afraid, that one huge PR with various algorithms can be too big to implement and review. I'm pretty sure they should be added one-by-one, what is far easier to handle. Especially knowing that some keys can be simply converted to others (e.i. pkk <> pem), and those converters should be included in DevToys too. And again, in separated issue and PR. That's why it'd be good to decide which key pair should be the main/only one in this feature request.

But if I'm wrong, I'm open to discuss other points of view ;)

I guess then a good start would be just this: https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-tools/tree/contrib/keygen-html/wireguard.js

@Andret2344 what do you think?
