_LANGUAGE_ sample showing how to generate an RSA key and export to encrypted PEM. Lianja

// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
// key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.

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