Visual FoxPro Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Create PKCS1 RSA Signature with PEM Private Key

See more RSA Examples

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

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loPkey
LOCAL loRsa
LOCAL lcStrData
LOCAL lcHexSig

lnSuccess = 0

*  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.LoadPemFile("pvkey2_rsa.pem")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loPkey.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loPkey
    CANCEL
ENDIF

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

*  Get the signature as 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", "md5", "sha256",
*  "sha384", and "sha512".
lcHexSig = loRsa.SignStringENC(lcStrData,"sha-1")

? lcHexSig

? "Success!"
