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

loPkey = CreateObject('Chilkat.PrivateKey')

*  Load the private key from an RSA PEM file:
lnSuccess = loPkey.LoadPkcs8EncryptedFile("privateKey.key","myPassword")

loRsa = CreateObject('Chilkat.Rsa')

*  Import the private key into the RSA object:
lnSuccess = loRsa.UsePrivateKey(loPkey)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loRsa.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loPkey
    RELEASE loRsa
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  Return the signature in hex
loRsa.EncodingMode = "hex"

lcStrData = "This is the string to be signed."

*  Sign the string using the sha-1 hash algorithm.
*  Other valid choices are "md2", "sha256", "sha384", "sha512",  and "md5".
lcHexSig = loRsa.SignStringENC(lcStrData,"sha-1")
