llSuccess = .F.

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

loRsa = createobject("CkRsa")

// Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
// key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
loPrivKey = createobject("CkPrivateKey")
llSuccess = loRsa.GenKey(1024,loPrivKey)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loRsa.LastErrorText
    release loRsa
    release loPrivKey
    return
endif

lcStrEncPem = loPrivKey.GetPkcs8EncryptedPem("myPassword")

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

? lcStrEncPem


release loRsa
