<?php

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

$rsa = new COM("Chilkat.Rsa");

// Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
// key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.

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