Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

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";
