(C++) RSA Sign utf-8 Byte Representation of String

Demontstrates how to sign the utf-8 byte representation of a string.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

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

    // Load an RSA private key for signing.

    const char *originalData = "This is the string to be hashed an RSA signed.";

    // Indicate that we want the utf-8 byte representation of the string to be signed
    rsa.put_Charset("utf-8");

    // We want the RSA signature in base64 format
    rsa.put_EncodingMode("base64");

    const char *sigBase64 = rsa.signStringENC(originalData,"sha256");
    std::cout << sigBase64 << "\r\n";
