DESCRIPTION

Creates a key pair of private key and public key/certificate of the current account.

JS7 supports the following key types: PGP, RSA and ECDSA.

* PGP keys use a private key and a public key.
* RSA and ECDSA use a private key and a signed certificate. The certificate can be self-signed or CA-signed. The public key is not used.

Depending on the security level that JOC Cockpit is operated for one of the following items is returned:

* public key/certificate if security level HIGH is used.
* public key/certificate and private key if security level LOW or MEDIUM are used.

The following REST Web Service API resources are used:

* /profile/key/generate
