KeyPairs

Default KeyPair Class

The awsm KeyPair class is created during the initial setup, and a new key is actually generated at the same time. When you create new KeyPair classes in awsm, you can either upload your own public key (keeping your private key completely secure), or let awsm generate a new 4096 bit RSA keypair (locally) and store both in SimpleDB.
