Generate RSA Key and Export to Encrypted PEM

_LANGUAGE_ sample showing how to generate an RSA key and export to encrypted PEM. Delphi ActiveX

//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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

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