' The RSA public key is used for encryption, and the private key for decryption.

' The public key's role is to make encryption accessible to anyone while ensuring that
' only the private key holder can decrypt the messages.
' The public key is designed to be widely distributed so anyone can use it to encrypt messages
' intended for the owner of the private key.

' Load our 2048-bit RSA public key.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.PublicKey")
set pubKey = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.PublicKey")
' In all Chilkat methods expecting a path, you pass either absolute or relative paths.
success = pubKey.LoadFromFile("qa_data/rsaKeys/myTestRsaPublic.pem")
If (success = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( pubKey.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

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

' Tell RSA to use the public key.
success = rsa.ImportPublicKeyObj(pubKey)

' RSA encryption is for small amounts of data, on the order of 200 bytes or less.
' The maximum number of bytes that can be RSA encrypted depends
' on the RSA key size and padding scheme (OAEP padding vs PKCS#1 v1.5 padding).
' For specific limits, see: RSA Encryption Maximum Number of Bytes

' A typical use for RSA is to encrypt symmetric encryption keys, such as an AES key.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Prng")
set prng = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Prng")

keyBytes = prng.GenRandomBytes(32)

encBytes = rsa.EncryptBytes(keyBytes,0)

' Let's decrypt, which requires the matching private key...

' Load the matching 2048-bit RSA private key.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.PrivateKey")
set privKey = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.PrivateKey")
password = "secret"
success = privKey.LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/rsaKeys/myTestRsaPrivate.pem",password)
If (success = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( privKey.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Tell the RSA object to use the private key.
success = rsa.ImportPrivateKeyObj(privKey)

decBytes = rsa.DecryptBytes(encBytes,1)
If (success = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( rsa.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
