Generate RSA Public/Private Key

See more RSA Examples

_LANGUAGE_ example code showing how to generate an RSA public/private key. C#

bool success = false;

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

Chilkat.Rsa rsa = new Chilkat.Rsa();

//  Generate a 2048-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
//  key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 8192 bits.
Chilkat.PrivateKey privKey = new Chilkat.PrivateKey();
success = rsa.GenKey(2048,privKey);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Chilkat.PublicKey pubKey = new Chilkat.PublicKey();
privKey.ToPublicKey(pubKey);

Debug.WriteLine(privKey.GetPkcs8Pem());

Debug.WriteLine(pubKey.GetPem(false));

//  Sample output:
