(Delphi DLL) RSA Encrypt and Decrypt Credit Card Numbers

Delphi DLL sample code to RSA public-key encrypt and decrypt credit card numbers. The RSA key is loaded from an unencrypted PKCS8 file. Chilkat provides many ways of setting the key -- loading from both encrypted and unencrypted PEM, PKCS8, DER, PVK, etc. Keys may be loaded from files or in-memory representations. (The RSA component also provides the ability to generate RSA keys.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
