(DataFlex) Generate RSA Key and Export to Encrypted PEM

DataFlex sample showing how to generate an RSA key and export to encrypted PEM.

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

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

Procedure Test
    Boolean iSuccess
    Handle hoRsa
    Variant vPrivKey
    Handle hoPrivKey
    String sStrEncPem
    String sTemp1

    Move False To iSuccess

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

    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatRsa)) To hoRsa
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoRsa))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoRsa

    // Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
    // key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.

    Get ComGetPkcs8EncryptedPem Of hoPrivKey "myPassword" To sStrEncPem

    // You now have the private key in an encrypted format,
    // which may be (for example) saved to a database.
