How to Create an RSA Key on Bybit

Please head to the RSA key generator website, download and install the latest version of the generator. 

 

Note: The purpose of the “.CHECKSUM” file is to verify the integrity of the generator package. Please download both files to the same directory. For more information, please click here.
 

 

How to Use an RSA Key Generator

RSA Key Generator can be used for the following:

1. Adjust key size 

— Select the size of the RSA Key to be generated. You can select 2048 bits (default) or 4096 bits. 

 

2. Generate key pairs 

—  Create new private or public RSA keys. You can also paste the existing private key into the text box and the app will automatically generate the associated public key.

 

3. Copy key pairs

—  Copy the keys to save them to a PrivateKey.txt or PublicKey.txt file. Please note that the file extension defaults to .txt, but you can customize it to other formats. 

—  Please do not share your keys with anyone.
