PKCS11 Import an Existing RSA Public Key onto the HSM

See more PKCS11 Examples

Demonstrates how to import an existing RSA Public Key onto a smart card or token.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or later.

Go

    success := false

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

    // Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

    pkcs11 := chilkat.NewPkcs11()

    // Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
    // (The format of the path will change with the operating system.  Obviously, "C:/" is not used on non-Windows systems.
    pkcs11.SetSharedLibPath("C:/Program Files (x86)/Gemalto/IDGo 800 PKCS#11/IDPrimePKCS1164.dll")

    // Establish a logged-on session.
    pin := "0000"
    userType := 1
    success = pkcs11.QuickSession(userType,pin)

    // Provide the RSA public key material
    attrs.UpdateString("modulus",*xml.GetChildContent("Modulus"))
    attrs.UpdateString("public_exponent",*xml.GetChildContent("Exponent"))

    // Create the RSA public key.
    // Returns the PKCS11 object handle of the created key.
    objHandle := pkcs11.CreatePkcs11Object(attrs)

        fmt.Println(pkcs11.LastErrorText())

        fmt.Println("Successfully imported an RSA key..")
