Generate RSA Key and Export to Encrypted PEM

See more RSA Examples

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

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$rsa = chilkat::CkRsa->new();

# Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
# key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
$privKey = chilkat::CkPrivateKey->new();
$success = $rsa->GenKey(1024,$privKey);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $rsa->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$strEncPem = $privKey->getPkcs8EncryptedPem("myPassword");

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

print $strEncPem . "\r\n";
