PKCS11 Generate a RSA Key that stays on the HSM

See more PKCS11 Examples

Generates an RSA key on the smart card or token and returns the public and private key handles. The generated RSA key stays on the HSM even after the PKCS11 session has ended.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or later.
