(Go) RSA Sign Using Private Key from .pfx/.p12 to Base64 Signature

See more RSA Examples

Demonstrates how to RSA sign something using a private key loaded from a .pfx/.p12. The RSA signature is returned in Base64 encoded format.

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

    rsa := chilkat.NewRsa()
