i get it now. you are talking at my level now :-) ...

so public/private keys are derived from three independent sources value
p, value q and value k.

so to make keys completly password based would require:

1. prime number generators that uses some pseudo random sequence of
numbers that is seeded using password string. so for a give password i
get the same p and q every time.

2. use sha512 to calculate k

3. not considering size recommendation for now.

now the question is do i build this or there is something like this
already there?

thanks
