RSA Sign utf-8 Byte Representation of String

See more RSA Examples

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

#include <CkPrivateKey.h>
#include <CkRsa.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    // 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.
    CkPrivateKey privKey;
    success = privKey.LoadEncryptedPemFile("qa_data/pem/rsa_passwd.pem","passwd");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << privKey.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    CkRsa rsa;
    success = rsa.UsePrivateKey(privKey);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << rsa.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    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";
    }
