(Visual FoxPro) Create PKCS1 RSA Signature with PEM Private Key

Demonstrates how to load a private key from a PEM file and create a PKCS1 RSA digital signature.

LOCAL loPkey
LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL lcPkeyXml
LOCAL loRsa
LOCAL lcStrData
LOCAL lcHexSig

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

loPkey = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.PrivateKey')

* Load the private key from an RSA PEM file:
lnSuccess = loPkey.LoadPemFile("pvkey2_rsa.pem")

* Get the private key in XML format:
lcPkeyXml = loPkey.GetXml()

loRsa = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Rsa')

* Import the private key into the RSA component:
lnSuccess = loRsa.ImportPrivateKey(lcPkeyXml)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loRsa.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loPkey
    RELEASE loRsa
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* This example will sign a string, and receive the signature
* in a hex-encoded string.  Therefore, set the encoding mode
* to "hex":
loRsa.EncodingMode = "hex"

* If some other non-Chilkat software is going to verify
* the signature, it is important to match the byte-ordering.
* The LittleEndian property may be set to 1
* for little-endian byte ordering, 
* or 0  for big-endian byte ordering.
* Microsoft apps typically use little-endian, while
* OpenSSL and other services (such as Amazon CloudFront)
* use big-endian.
loRsa.LittleEndian = 0

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

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

? lcHexSig

? "Success!"
