Description
This is a parent class for classes storing a key pair, consisting of private and public key. Storage of the private key is optional.
If a private key is available, the KeyPair can be used for decrypting data (encrypted with the public key) or computing secure digital signatures.

KT_EC = KeyPairImpl::KT_EC_IMPL
Constructors
KeyPair
explicit KeyPair(
KeyPairImpl::Ptr pKeyPairImpl = 0
);
Extracts the RSA public key from the given certificate.
KeyPair
KeyPair(
const KeyPair & other
);
Copy constructor.
KeyPair
KeyPair(
KeyPair && other
) noexcept;
Move constructor.

Member Functions
impl 
KeyPairImpl::Ptr impl() const;
Returns the impl object.
name
const std::string & name() const;
Returns key pair name
operator =
KeyPair & operator = (
const KeyPair & other
);
Assignment.
operator =
KeyPair & operator = (
KeyPair && other
) noexcept;
Move assignment.
save
virtual void save(
const std::string & publicKeyPairFile,
const std::string & privateKeyPairFile = "",
const std::string & privateKeyPairPassphrase = ""
) const;
Exports the public and private keys to the given files.
If an empty filename is specified, the corresponding key is not exported.
save
virtual void save(
std::ostream * pPublicKeyPairStream,
std::ostream * pPrivateKeyPairStream = 0,
const std::string & privateKeyPairPassphrase = ""
) const;
Exports the public and private key to the given streams.
If a null pointer is passed for a stream, the corresponding key is not exported.
size
virtual int size() const;
Returns the RSA modulus size.
type
Type type() const;
Returns key pair type
