(Go) RSA Sign with PKCS8 Encrypted Key

See more RSA Examples

Demonstrates how to load a private key from an encrypted PKCS8 file and create an RSA digital signature.

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

    pkey := chilkat.NewPrivateKey()

    // Load the private key from an RSA PEM file:
    success := pkey.LoadPkcs8EncryptedFile("privateKey.key","myPassword")

    var pkeyXml *string = new(string)
    // Get the private key in XML format:
    pkeyXml = pkey.GetXml()

    rsa := chilkat.NewRsa()

    // Import the private key into the RSA object:
    success = rsa.ImportPrivateKey(*pkeyXml)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(rsa.LastErrorText())
        pkey.DisposePrivateKey()
        rsa.DisposeRsa()
        return
    }

    // Return the signature in hex
    rsa.SetEncodingMode("hex")

    strData := "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".
    hexSig := rsa.SignStringENC(strData,"sha-1")

    fmt.Println(*hexSig)
