The public key is saved as an X509Certificate. The private key is saved as a PFX file. Both can be loaded by .NET's `X509Certificate` class. Returns `System.IO.FileInfo` objects for the public and private key, in that order. You will be prompted for the private key password. Once when creating the private key, once to save it to a file, and finally to export it to a PFX file. Sorry about that: the `makecert.exe` tool doesn't have an password command-line parameter. The first two prompts will be GUIs, so you can't run this command headless. To create a password-less private key, click "None" when prompted for the private key password, and leave the other password prompts blank. `makecert.exe` and `pvk2pfx.exe` are part of the Windows SDK. They can be downloaded from the following locations: * [Windows 7](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279) * [Windows 8](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/hh852363.aspx) * [Windows 8.1](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/bg162891.aspx) .OUTPUTS System.IO.FileInfo .LINK http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279 .LINK http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/hh852363.aspx .LINK http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/bg162891.aspx .EXAMPLE New-RsaKeyPair -Subject 'CN=MyName' -PublicKeyFile 'MyName.cer' -PrivateKeyFile 'MyName.pfx' Demonstrates the minimal parameters needed to generate a key pair. The key will use a sha512 signing algorithm, have a length of 4096 bits, expire on `DateTime::MaxValue`, as an `individual` authority. The public key will be saved in the current directory as `MyName.cer`. The private key will be saved to the current directory as `MyName.pfx`. .EXAMPLE New-RsaKeyPair -Subject 'CN=MyName' -PublicKeyFile 'MyName.cer' -PrivateKeyFile 'MyName.pfx' -Algorithm 'sha1' -ValidFrom (Get-Date -Year 2015 -Month 1 -Day 1) -ValidTo (Get-Date -Year 2015 -Month 12 -Day 31) -Length 1024 -Authority 'commercial' Demonstrates how to use all the parameters to create a truly customized key pair. The generated certificate will use the sha1 signing algorithm, becomes effective 1/1/2015, expires 12/31/2015, is 1024 bits in length, as specifies `commercial` as the signing authority. #> [OutputType([IO.FileInfo])] [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=0)] [string] # The key's subject.
