(PowerBuilder) Generate RSA Key and Sign a String

See more RSA Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a new RSA public/private key pair and use it to generate a signature for a string. The (binary) digital signature is returned as a hexidecimalized string.

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

// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Rsa" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0

// Generate a 2048-bit RSA key.
li_Success = loo_Rsa.GenerateKey(2048)

// Return the signature in hex.
loo_Rsa.EncodingMode = "hex"

ls_StrData = "This is the string to be signed."

// Sign the SHA256 hash of the string.
ls_HexSig = loo_Rsa.SignStringENC(ls_StrData,"sha256")

Write-Debug ls_HexSig
Write-Debug loo_Rsa.LastErrorText

// Now verify the signature:
li_Success = loo_Rsa.VerifyStringENC(ls_StrData,"sha256",ls_HexSig)
if li_Success = 1 then
    Write-Debug "Signature verified!"
else
    Write-Debug loo_Rsa.LastErrorText
end if

// Try it with an invalid signature:
li_Success = loo_Rsa.VerifyStringENC(ls_StrData,"sha256","not a valid sig")
if li_Success = 1 then
    Write-Debug "Signature verified!"
else
    Write-Debug loo_Rsa.LastErrorText
end if

// Try it with invalid data:
li_Success = loo_Rsa.VerifyStringENC("Not the original data","sha256",ls_HexSig)
if li_Success = 1 then
    Write-Debug "Signature verified!"
else
    Write-Debug loo_Rsa.LastErrorText
