Generate RSA Public/Private Key Pair and Export to PEM

See more RSA Examples

_LANGUAGE_ example code showing how to generate an RSA public/private key pair and export to PEM files. 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 2048-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
// key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 8192 bits.
var privKey = new CkPrivateKey();
success = rsa.GenKey(2048,privKey);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(rsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var pubKey = new CkPublicKey();
privKey.ToPublicKey(pubKey);

// Save the private key in PEM format:
success = privKey.SavePemFile("privateKey.pem");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(privKey.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Save the public key in PEM format:
success = pubKey.SavePemFile(false,"publicKey.pem");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(pubKey.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Success.");
