Here is the code that I use. I hope it helps.

//Generate the public and private keys
        Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());   //Register BouncyCastle as our Security Provider. This is needed to generate the identity later
        SecureRandom rand = new SecureRandom(); //This is a better random number generator than Math.random and is required.
        JDKKeyPairGenerator.RSA keyPairGen = new JDKKeyPairGenerator.RSA(); //This is the object that will generate the public and private keys       
        keyPairGen.initialize(2048, rand);  //We tell it how many bits to use, 2048 is good enough.
        KeyPair keyPair = keyPairGen.generateKeyPair(); //Finally we call generate

        //Generate the identiy that we are going to pass to the SCEP server
        X509Certificate identity = null;

        try {            
            X500Principal principal = new X500Principal("CN=" + username);
            identity = X509Util.createEphemeralCertificate(principal, keyPair); //Generate with the key pair created above
        } catch (GeneralSecurityException ex) {
            log.log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            System.exit(CANT_GENERATE_IDENTITY_ERROR);
        }
