/*
Generate an RSA key of a specified bitlength, and put it into a pair of key
files. One is the public key in X.509 format (PEM encoded), the private key is
in PKCS #8 format (also PEM encoded).

Written by Jack Lloyd (lloyd@randombit.net), June 2-3, 2002
  Updated to use X.509 and PKCS #8 on October 21, 2002
