(CkPython) Generate RSA Key and Export to Encrypted PEMCkPython sample showing how to generate an RSA key and export to encrypted PEM.
import sys import chilkat # This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked. # See Global Unlock Sample for sample code. rsa = chilkat.CkRsa() # Generate a 1024-bit key. Chilkat RSA supports # key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits. success = rsa.GenerateKey(1024) if (success != True): print(rsa.lastErrorText()) sys.exit() # Get the private key as unencrypted XML: keyXml = rsa.exportPrivateKey() print(keyXml) # To encrypt the key -- meaning to get the key in # an encrypted PEM format -- load it into a PrivateKey object, # and then export to encrypted PEM: privKey = chilkat.CkPrivateKey() success = privKey.LoadXml(keyXml) if (success != True): print(privKey.lastErrorText()) sys.exit() strEncPem = privKey.getPkcs8EncryptedPem("myPassword") # You now have the private key in an encrypted format, # which may be (for example) saved to a database |
