_LANGUAGE_ sample showing how to generate an RSA key and export to encrypted PEM. Unicode C++

#include <CkRsaW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkRsaW rsa;

    // Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
    // key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
    CkPrivateKeyW privKey;
    success = rsa.GenKey(1024,privKey);
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",rsa.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    const wchar_t *strEncPem = 0;
    strEncPem = privKey.getPkcs8EncryptedPem(L"myPassword");

    // You now have the private key in an encrypted format,
    // which may be (for example) saved to a database.

    wprintf(L"%s\n",strEncPem);
