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.

// Load the private key from an RSA PEM file:
BOOL success = [pkey LoadPkcs8EncryptedFile: @"privateKey.key" password: @"myPassword"];

NSString *pkeyXml = 0;
// Get the private key in XML format:
pkeyXml = [pkey GetXml];

CkoRsa *rsa = [[CkoRsa alloc] init];

// Import the private key into the RSA object:
success = [rsa ImportPrivateKey: pkeyXml];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",rsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Return the signature in hex
rsa.EncodingMode = @"hex";

NSString *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".
