First off you already have base64 pubString, which you're encoding to base64 again, you will want to decode the base 64 to get the original value then create a data object to represent that string before passing it to the SecKeyCreateWithData. To generate a new key, tap the + button on the Keys pane of Prompt’s settings and choose Generate New Key. Choose a descriptive name for your key, and optionally set a passphrase. Choose your key type, and size. Then tap “Generate” to create your keypair. Once it’s finished generating, tap Copy Public Key to put the public key on your pasteboard. We’ll use it in the next step.

Generate Pem Key Windows

You generate an SSH key through Mac OS X by using the Terminal application. Once you upload a valid public SSH key,Gerrit can authenticate you based on this key.

An SSH key consists of a pair of files. One is the private key, which you should never give to anyone. No one will everask you for it and if so, simply ignore them - they are trying to steal it.The other is the public key. When you generate your keys, you will use ssh-keygen to store the keys in a safe locationso you can authenticate with Gerrit.

To generate SSH keys in Mac OS X, follow these steps:

Openssl generate pem key
  1. Enter the following command in the Terminal window:

    This starts the key generation process. When you execute this command, the ssh-keygen utility prompts you to indicate where to store the key.

  2. Press the ENTER key to accept the default location. /how-do-i-generate-a-public-ssh-key.html. The ssh-keygen utility prompts you for a passphrase.

  3. Type in a passphrase. You can also hit the ENTER key to accept the default (no passphrase). However, this is not recommended.

Warning

You will need to enter the passphrase a second time to continue.

After you confirm the passphrase, the system generates the key pair and you will see output like this:

Pem

Your private key is saved to the id_rsa file in the .ssh subdirectory of your home directory and is used to verifythe public key you use belongs to your Gerrit account.

Warning

Never share your private key with anyone! Ever! We mean it!

Your public key is saved to a file called id_rsa.pub in the .ssh subdirectory of your home directory. You can copyit to your clipboard using the following command:

Now you can head over to Gerrit, go to settings and paste your public key as described here.

Gerrit is using the special port 29418 instead of the default SSH port 22 which has to be configured accordingly. This can be done in your local ~/.ssh/config file which would contain the following sections then:
