(PHP ActiveX) Create PKCS1 RSA Signature with PEM Private Key

See more RSA Examples

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

$success = 0;

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

$pkey = new COM("Chilkat.PrivateKey");

// Load the private key from an RSA PEM file:
$success = $pkey->LoadPemFile('pvkey2_rsa.pem');
if ($success == 0) {
    print $pkey->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

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

// Import the private key into the RSA object:
$success = $rsa->UsePrivateKey($pkey);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $rsa->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Get the signature as hex.
$rsa->EncodingMode = 'hex';

$strData = 'This is the string to be signed.';

// Sign the string using the sha-1 hash algorithm.
// Other valid choices are "md2", "md5", "sha256",
// "sha384", and "sha512".
