▸ generateKeyPair(alg, options?): Promise<GenerateKeyPairResult>
Generates a private and a public key for a given JWA algorithm identifier.
This can only generate asymmetric key pairs. For symmetric secrets use the
generateSecret function.
Note: Under Web Cryptography API runtime the privateKey is generated with
extractable set to false by default.
example Usage
const { publicKey, privateKey } = await jose.generateKeyPair('PS256')
console.log(publicKey)
