Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

$privKey = New-Object Chilkat.PrivateKey

# Step 1: Load the private key from a source.
# (Chilkat can load private keys from all types of formats, and from in-memory bytes or encoded strings.
# see the online reference documentation for more options.)
$success = $privKey.LoadPemFile("qa_data/pem/VP_Private.pem")
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($privKey.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Step 2: Get the public key object from the private key object.
$pubKey = New-Object Chilkat.PublicKey
$privKey.ToPublicKey($pubKey)

# Step 3: Save the public key in a desired format. 
# (Chilkat can load or save public and private keys in many different formats.  See
# the online reference documentation for more options.)

# Saves to a PKCS8 PEM file.
$bPreferPkcs1 = $false
$success = $pubKey.SavePemFile($bPreferPkcs1,"qa_data/pem/VP_Public.pem")
if ($pubKey.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($pubKey.LastErrorText)
    exit
}
