Member Function Documentation

QSslKey KeyBuilder::generate ( QSsl::KeyAlgorithm algo, KeyStrength strength ) `[static]`

Generates a new key using the specified algorithm and strength. The algorithm will generally be RSA. The various strengths allow you to specify the trade-off between the security of the key and the time involved in creating it.

Note that this method can take a considerable length of time to execute, so in gui applications it should be run in a worker thread.
