RSAgenkey

Purpose
Create a new RSA key pair.
Synopsis
function RSAgenkey(size:integer, key:array(range) of integer):integer
function RSAgenkey(size:integer, kfile:string):integer
Arguments
size 
Size of the key to generate (in bits, must be at least 1024)
key 
Array to store the new key
kfile 
File where to save the key
Return value
Number of integers (first syntax) or size of the file (second syntax) or -1 in case of I/O error and -2 if the provided array is not suitable to store the key.
Further information
1. The generated key can be retrieved either as an array of integers or directly saved into a file. In both cases, the public key may be extracted using RSAsavekey.
2. The function creates keys of at least 1024 bits: a request for a key of a smaller size will result in a 1024 bits key.
