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

    let rsa = CkoRsa()

    // Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
    // key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
    // Note: Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.49, RSA key sizes can be up to 8192 bits.
    // It takes a considerable amount of time and processing power to generate
    // an 8192-bit key.
    var success: Bool = rsa.GenerateKey(1024)
    if success != true {
        print("\(rsa.LastErrorText)")

    // Keys are exported in XML format:
    var publicKey: String? = rsa.ExportPublicKey()
    print("\(publicKey!)")

    var privateKey: String? = rsa.ExportPrivateKey()
    print("\(privateKey!)")
