Private and public keys generation

Private and public keys generation

[Evgeniy Ivanov]

Hi everybody,

I’m able to generate the private keys pretty straightforward with any tool I like (eg: dd if=/dev/urandom bs=32 count=1 2>/dev/null | base64)

But now, I’m more curious about generating the public keys without using wg pubkey directly. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi Evgeniy,

Try this Python code:
https://github.com/m13253/VxWireguard-Generator/blob/1859e1ed199b067764bb29b7b5cd332037f5a665/vwgen/common.py#L236

See the function "genkey" and "pubkey".

Best regards,
StarBrilliant

This is not sufficient, as documented on https://cr.yp.to/ecdh.html
("Computing secret keys"). Please use wg(8) or any other library or
application that supports Curve25519.
