Java and SSL: How to Generate a Key Pair Using Java

This post is part of a series about the worlds of Java and SSL.  I hope to do 1 post a day on this topic. The resulting posts will become the basis for another section of a talk that I am scheduled to give on August 10 at the Boulder/Denver Cybersecurity Meetup.

    return keyPairGenerator.genKeyPair();
}

After generating a certificate, generating a key pair was almost anti-climatic.
