See more RSA Examples

Demonstrates how to use a certificate's private key from a PFX file to create an RSA signature.

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

// Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a PFX file,
// locate the certificate we need, and use it for signing.
// (a PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
loo_CertStore = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.CertStore" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0

if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_CertStore
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
// PFX file's password:
li_Success = loo_CertStore.LoadPfxFile("chilkat.pfx","test")
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_CertStore.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_CertStore

end if

destroy loo_Cert

// Get the private key in XML format:
ls_PkeyXml = loo_Pkey.GetXml()

loo_Rsa = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Rsa" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Rsa.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Rsa")

// Import the private key into the RSA component:

if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Rsa.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Pkey

// Encode the signature as a hex string

// Sign the string using the sha-1 hash algorithm.
// Other valid choices are "sha-256", "md2" and "md5".
