You cannot generate a private key from a public key.
Typically, the receiver generates the key pair and sends the public key
to the sender. The sender encrypts with the public key. The receiver
decrypts with the private key.
A typical format for sending a public key across a channel is an X.509
certificate.

But the problem is, I have to encrypt it at clients side and decrypt it
at servers side. In the above program I generated the key at clients
side. But How do I transport the public key to the other party for it to
generate the private key? If I send the key using TCP/IP channel, that
makes the system vulnerable, which is not desirable. So how do I
transport the keys between client and the server.
