Frequently Asked Questions

What is RSA?

RSA is an asymmetric encryption algorithm using a public key (for encrypting/verifying) and a private key (for decrypting/signing). It's the foundation of SSL/TLS and SSH.

What is the difference between RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS?

RSA-OAEP is for encryption (encrypt with public key, decrypt with private key). RSA-PSS is for digital signatures (sign with private key, verify with public key).

Which key size should I choose?

2048-bit is the minimum recommended and sufficient for most uses. 4096-bit offers stronger security but is slower to generate.

Are these keys truly secure?

Yes. Generated using the Web Crypto API with your OS's cryptographic random number generator. Keys never leave your browser.
