Rust Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

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. Rust

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

let rsa = chilkat::Rsa::new();

// Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
// key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
let priv_key = chilkat::PrivateKey::new();
if rsa.gen_key(1024, &priv_key).is_err() {
    println!("{}", rsa.last_error_text());
    return;
}

let str_enc_pem = priv_key.get_pkcs8_encrypted_pem("myPassword").unwrap_or_default();

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

println!("{}", str_enc_pem);
