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

# Load an RSA private key for signing.
privKey = chilkat.CkPrivateKey()
success = privKey.LoadEncryptedPemFile("qa_data/pem/rsa_passwd.pem","passwd")
if (success != True):
    print(privKey.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

originalData = "This is the string to be hashed an RSA signed."

# Indicate that we want the utf-8 byte representation of the string to be signed
rsa.put_Charset("utf-8")

# We want the RSA signature in base64 format
rsa.put_EncodingMode("base64")

sigBase64 = rsa.signStringENC(originalData,"sha256")
print(sigBase64)
