hi Kyle
Thanks for the response. How do you randomly generate a value? What are the
key-derivation functions and how do we use them?
Regards

The key that is sought in this field is a symmetric key, not an asymmetric
key.
This means that RSA is not the correct type of key.
Randomly generate a value, or use a particular passphrase and feed it into a
key-derivation function for the number of bits in the cipher size.
