(Tcl) Yubikey RSA Encrypt/Decrypt

See more RSA Examples

Note: RSA encryption uses the public key, which is freely exportable and does not need to occur on the token/smartcard.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.3 or greater.

# This example assumes you have a certificate with private key on the Yubikey token.
# When doing simple RSA encryption/decryption, we don't actually need the certificate,
# but we'll be using the private key associated with the certificate.
# 
# The sensitive/secret material that needs to be kept private is the private key.
# The certificate itself and the public key can be freely shared.
# 

# We're going to encrypt and decrypt 32-bytes of data.
