i assume you are talking about ssh keys and on a standard fedora/redhat/centos/ubuntu/debian distro , if you are not please ask explicitly i will try to help !

 

to make keys  

ssh-keygen -t rsa

or

ssh-keygen -t dsa

 

How can i get back encryption key ?

linux is an open source implementation and all packages have their source code released with mostly GPL licenses as well, if you really want to brake-in and see how  encryption key's are created in first place you may do so by downloading the source rpm/deb files for openssh and take a look, however to answer your questions this is not possible.
