(Swift 2) RSA Sign with PKCS8 Encrypted Key

Demonstrates how to load a private key from an encrypted PKCS8 file and create an RSA digital signature (and then verify it).

    let pkey = CkoPrivateKey()

    // Load the private key from an RSA PEM file:
    var success: Bool = pkey.LoadPkcs8EncryptedFile("raul_privateKey.key", password: "a0123456789")

    var pkeyXml: String?
    // Get the private key in XML format:
    pkeyXml = pkey.GetXml()

    let rsa = CkoRsa()

    // Import the private key into the RSA component:
    success = rsa.ImportPrivateKey(pkeyXml)
    if success != true {
        print("\(rsa.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    // This example will sign a string, and receive the signature
    // in a hex-encoded string.  Therefore, set the encoding mode
    // to "hex":
    rsa.EncodingMode = "hex"

    var strData: String? = "This is the string to be signed."

    // Sign the string using the sha-1 hash algorithm.
    // Other valid choices are "md2" and "md5".
    var hexSig: String? = rsa.SignStringENC(strData, hashAlg: "sha-1")

    print("\(hexSig!)")

    // Now verify with the public key.
    // This example shows how to use the public key from 
    // a digital certificate (.cer file)
    let cert = CkoCert()
    success = cert.LoadFromFile("raul_publicKey.cer")
    if success != true {
        print("\(cert.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    var pubKey: CkoPublicKey?
    pubKey = cert.ExportPublicKey()

    var pubKeyXml: String?
    // Get the private key in XML format:
    pubKeyXml = pubKey!.GetXml()

    let rsa2 = CkoRsa()
    success = rsa2.ImportPublicKey(pubKeyXml)
    if success != true {
        print("\(rsa2.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    // Verify the signature against the original data:
    rsa2.EncodingMode = "hex"
    success = rsa2.VerifyStringENC(strData, hashAlg: "sha-1", sig: hexSig)
    if success != true {
        print("\(rsa2.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    print("Signature verified!")

    // Verify with incorrect data:
    success = rsa2.VerifyStringENC("something else", hashAlg: "sha-1", sig: hexSig)
    if success != true {
        print("Signature not verified! (which was expected in this case)")
    }
    else {
        print("Hmmm... that's not right...")
