Generate keypair

Generate a keypair for encrypting small data to send to the DIDE cluster. This can be used to encrypt environment variables, and possibly other workflows in future. By default, if you have ever created a keypair we do not replace it if it already exists, unless you set update = TRUE so you may call this function safely to ensure that you do have a keypair set up.

Usage

dide_generate_keypair(update = FALSE)

Arguments

update

Replace the existing keypair. You will need to use this if you accidentally remove the .hipercow/ directory from your network home share, or if you want to renew your key.

Value

Nothing, called for its side effect

Examples

if (FALSE) {

# Generate a new keypair, if one does not exist
dide_generate_keypair()
}
