Generate RSA Key and Export to Encrypted PEM

_LANGUAGE_ sample showing how to generate an RSA key and export to encrypted PEM.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

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

var rsa = new CkRsa();

// Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
// key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
var privKey = new CkPrivateKey();
success = rsa.GenKey(1024,privKey);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(rsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var strEncPem;
strEncPem = privKey.GetPkcs8EncryptedPem("myPassword");

// You now have the private key in an encrypted format,
// which may be (for example) saved to a database.

console.log(strEncPem);
