    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

    CkRsaW rsa;

    // Generate a 2048-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
    bool success = rsa.GenerateKey(2048);
    if (success != true) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",rsa.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // Get the public part of the key.
    CkPublicKeyW *pubKey = rsa.ExportPublicKeyObj();

    // There are two possible formats for representing the RSA public key 
    // in ASN.1 (DER).  The possible formats are PKCS1 and PKCS8.
    // We can get either by setting bChoosePkcs1 to true or false.
    bool bChoosePkcs1 = true;
    const wchar_t *pubKeyBase64Der = pubKey->getEncoded(bChoosePkcs1,L"base64");
    wprintf(L"Public Key Base64 DER:\n");
    wprintf(L"%s\n",pubKeyBase64Der);

    delete pubKey;

    // Now get the private key as Base64 DER:
    // Get the private part of the key.
    // (Note: A public key is actually just a subset of the private key.  
    //  If you have the private key, you also have the public key.
    //  Thus Chilkat provides a method to get the public key from the private key.)
    CkPrivateKeyW *privKey = rsa.ExportPrivateKeyObj();

    // Again, we can get PKCS1 or PKCS8, but with different methods:
    const wchar_t *privKeyPkcs1 = privKey->getPkcs1ENC(L"base64");
    wprintf(L"Private Key PKCS1 Base64 DER:\n");
    wprintf(L"%s\n",privKeyPkcs1);

    const wchar_t *privKeyPkcs8 = privKey->getPkcs8ENC(L"base64");
    wprintf(L"Private Key PKCS8 Base64 DER:\n");
    wprintf(L"%s\n",privKeyPkcs8);

    delete privKey;
