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

// Load an RSA private key for signing.
CkoPrivateKey *privKey = [[CkoPrivateKey alloc] init];
BOOL success = [privKey LoadEncryptedPemFile: @"qa_data/pem/rsa_passwd.pem" password: @"passwd"];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",privKey.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

[rsa ImportPrivateKeyObj: privKey];

NSString *originalData = @"This is the string to be hashed an RSA signed.";

// Indicate that we want the utf-8 byte representation of the string to be signed
rsa.Charset = @"utf-8";

// We want the RSA signature in base64 format
rsa.EncodingMode = @"base64";

NSString *sigBase64 = [rsa SignStringENC: originalData hashAlg: @"sha256"];
