CSR

[peterlustig78]

What type of request is this?

New feature for an existing tool

Clear and concise description of the feature you are proposing

The CSR generator could allow other bitsizes and potentially also other algorithms than RSA-2048

Is there example of this tool in the wild?

No response

Additional context

Currently the Private key generated by the csr generator is forced to RSA 2048 Bits,
it would be nice if customization for this would be possible.

I tried to look into the source code if I could find the default hardcoded somewhere in order to overwrite it via devtools, was unable to find it.

Potentially the code from the RSA Key pair generator could be used, but I dont know that in this level of detail, especially since those are two different libraries.

Validations

• Check the feature is not already implemented in the project.
• Check that there isn't already an issue that request the same feature to avoid creating a duplicate.
• Check that the feature can be implemented in a client side only app (IT-Tools is client side only, no server).
• Everything is written in PLAIN ENGLISH

Hi @peterlustig78 , may be also Ed25519, if it works and bits count. Anything else ?

[peterlustig78]

ed25519 is fixed size afaik right?
Otherwise that would be enough for my use cases currently.

Thanks for making this possible :)

Hi @peterlustig78 , ed25519 sounds not well handled by node-forge, so will only add bitwise for now
