NAME¶
zmq_curve_keypair - generate a new CURVE keypair
SYNOPSIS¶
int zmq_curve_keypair (char *z85_public_key, char *z85_secret_key);
DESCRIPTION¶
The
zmq_curve_keypair() function shall return a newly generated random
keypair consisting of a public key and a secret key. The caller provides two
buffers, each at least 41 octets large, in which this method will store the
keys. The keys are encoded using
zmq_z85_encode(3).
RETURN VALUE¶
The
zmq_curve_keypair() function shall return 0 if successful, else it
shall return -1 and set
errno to one of the values defined below.
ERRORS¶
ENOTSUP
The libzmq library was not built with cryptographic
support (libsodium).
EXAMPLE¶
Generating a new CURVE keypair.
char public_key [41];
char secret_key [41];
int rc = crypto_box_keypair (public_key, secret_key);
assert (rc == 0);
