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

$rsa = New-Object Chilkat.Rsa

# First demonstrate importing a PEM public key:
$publicKeyPem = "PEM public-key data goes here"
$pubkey = New-Object Chilkat.PublicKey

$success = $pubkey.LoadFromString($publicKeyPem)
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($pubkey.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$publicKeyXml = $pubkey.GetXml()

$success = $rsa.ImportPublicKey($publicKeyXml)
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($rsa.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Demonstrate importing a PEM private key:
$privateKeyPem = "PEM private-key data goes here"
$privkey = New-Object Chilkat.PrivateKey

# If the private key PEM is protected with a password, then 
# call LoadEncryptedPem.  Otherwise call LoadPem.
$success = $privkey.LoadPem($privateKeyPem)
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($privkey.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$privateKeyXml = $privkey.GetXml()
$success = $rsa.ImportPrivateKey($privateKeyXml)
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($rsa.LastErrorText)
    exit
}
