Key generators

Jam has several utilities for generating various keys.

AES Keys¶

For convenient generation of AES keys, there is a utility jam.utils.aes.generate_aes_key:

from jam.utils import generate_aes_key

key: bytes = generate_aes_key()

Now this key can be used in AES session encryption or somewhere else in your application.

RSA Keys¶

To generate an RSA key pair, you can use jam.utils.rsa.generate_rsa_key_pair

from jam.utils import generate_rsa_key_pair

keys: dict[str, str] = generate_rsa_key_pair(
    key_size=2048
) # you get a dictionary like `{"private": KEY, "public": KEY}

OTP Keys¶

OTPs have a specific key format, so jam also has a utility for simple key generation.

from jam.utils import generate_otp_key

key = generate_otp_key(entropy_bits=128) # RQTC2QCAFRVB6DETJCZ2CST4PI

Sometimes you need to generate an OTP key based on specific values, for example, to send a code to an email address during registration. There is a utility for this - otp_key_from_string:

from jam.utils import otp_key_from_string

user_email = "user@email.com"
key = otp_key_from_string(user_email) # GZUHYNJCATBH3HRCRKNTJUAMRIOTNIAA
# Now, using this key, you can generate an OTP code or verify it.
