(Classic ASP) RSA Encrypt and Decrypt Credit Card Numbers

Classic ASP sample code to RSA public-key encrypt and decrypt credit card numbers. The RSA key is loaded from an unencrypted PKCS8 file. Chilkat provides many ways of setting the key -- loading from both encrypted and unencrypted PEM, PKCS8, DER, PVK, etc. Keys may be loaded from files or in-memory representations. (The RSA component also provides the ability to generate RSA keys.)

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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Rsa")
set rsa = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Rsa")

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.PrivateKey")
set key = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.PrivateKey")

' Load an RSA private key from a file:
success = key.LoadAnyFormatFile("rsaPrivateKey.key","")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( key.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Get the key as XML:

keyXml = key.GetXml()

' We'll encrypt with the public key and decrypt with the private
' key.  (It's also possible to do the reverse.)
' Note: An RSA private key is composed of different parts internally: modulus, exponent, P, Q, etc.
' An RSA public-key is a sub-set of the private key.
' Therefore, when you have a private key, you really have
' both public and private keys.
success = rsa.ImportPublicKey(keyXml)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( rsa.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Encrypt a VISA credit card number:
' 1234-5678-0000-9999
ccNumber = "1234567800009999"

usePrivateKey = 0
rsa.EncodingMode = "base64"
encryptedStr = rsa.EncryptStringENC(ccNumber,usePrivateKey)
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Encrypted:") & "</pre>"
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( encryptedStr) & "</pre>"

' Now decrypt:
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Rsa")
set rsaDecryptor = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Rsa")

rsaDecryptor.EncodingMode = "base64"
success = rsaDecryptor.ImportPrivateKey(keyXml)

usePrivateKey = 1
decryptedStr = rsaDecryptor.DecryptStringENC(encryptedStr,usePrivateKey)

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Decrypted:") & "</pre>"
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( decryptedStr) & "</pre>"

' Important: RSA encryption should only be used to encrypt small amounts of data.
' It is typically used for encrypting symmetric encryption
' keys such that a symmetric encryption algorithm, such as 
' AES is then used to encrypt/decrypt bulk data
