Creating a simple public/private keypair, such as through ssh-keygen does not create a file I can import into Keychain Access. Does anyone know how to create a new keypair for iPhone development?

A: 

First you need to be a registered iPhone developer. Then, go to the portal and log in:

iPhone Dev Portal

Then click on the "Certificates" link and follow the directions. A CSR will be generated, and somebody will have to approve it before your cert will be available. Then just install it into the keychain.

This requires you to send a CSR with an existing keypair. I'm looking to create a new one.

If you will take a look at this page, you'll see that creating a new keypair is the first step in creating a CSR.http://developer.apple.com/iphone/my/certificates/howto.action

A: 

If you want to generate a new key pair for your Keychain Access, simply selection the action "Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority...". This will generate the key pair and a CSR. Once the CSR deleted, you have your key pair. It's a little bit tricky but it works.
