     <function>openssl_pkey_new</function> generates a new private and public
     key pair.  The public component of the key can be obtained using
     <function>openssl_pkey_get_public</function>.
     You can finetune the key generation (such as specifying the number of
     bits) using <parameter>configargs</parameter>.  See
     <function>openssl_csr_new</function> for more information about
     <parameter>configargs</parameter>.
