HTML keygen Element

NOTE: This new element is HTML5 and will be a standardized element in 2014.

The <keygen> tag is used with a <form> tag. When the form processes <keygen> will generate a public and private encrypted key. The public key is stored on the server, while the private key is stored locally.

HTML CODE EXAMPLE

<form id="myform" action="parser.php" method="post">
Encryption Level: <keygen name="grade" keytype="rsa" form="myform" />
</form>

You can specify the security algorithm that the keygen tag will use when it creates its keys by setting the keytype attribute value to either "rsa", "dsa" or "ec".
