This article delves into the intricacies of implementing public/private key encryption in the Go programming language, providing a hands-on tutorial for generating RSA keys and encrypting and decrypting messages. The author, who is working on a server for sharing secrets between developers and CI systems, explores passwordless login via SSH keys and shares sample code to facilitate learning and experimentation with Go's encryption libraries. The tutorial includes generating keys using SSH-Keygen, encoding keys with Go’s crypto libraries, and demonstrates an end-to-end example of encrypting and decrypting messages in Go. The article also hints at future topics, such as creating digital signatures using private keys, and is authored by Alex Couture-Beil, who expresses a personal interest in coding, gardening, and outdoor activities.
