Generate RSA Key and Export to Encrypted PEM

See more RSA Examples

_LANGUAGE_ sample showing how to generate an RSA key and export to encrypted PEM. React Native

import { PrivateKey, Rsa } from '@chilkat/react-native'

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

  const rsa = new Rsa();

  // Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
  // key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
  const privKey = new PrivateKey();
  try {
    rsa.genKey(1024, privKey);
  } catch {
    console.log(rsa.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  const strEncPem = privKey.getPkcs8EncryptedPem('myPassword');

  // You now have the private key in an encrypted format,
  // which may be (for example) saved to a database.

  console.log(strEncPem);
