The end result is a usable single page app that will locally generate a keypair you can save to local drive. Allowing you to do that straight from chrome on a chrome book.
Everywhere else, you should have access to ssh-keygen which is the recommended way to generate keypair for SSH.

- Generate a keypair to be used with openSSH, this replicate ssh-keygen function in javascript in the browser, using the webcrypto api and a bit of glue.
- For an in-depth explanation on how this work, see the blog post.
- Usually you would want to save the private key to the machine initiating the ssh connection, and you want to copy the public key to the system receiving the connection.
- No data is being sent to the server, everything happens within the context of this web page.
