RSA Decrypt using PEM

See more RSA Examples

This example demonstrates decryping RSA encrypted data that is base64 encoded. It uses a private key loaded from a PEM file. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim rsa As New Chilkat.Rsa

Dim key As New Chilkat.PrivateKey

' Load an RSA private key from an unencrypted PEM file:
' (To load from an encrypted PEM file, call LoadEncryptedPemFile instead.)

success = key.LoadPemFile("qa_data/rsa/decryptTest/priv.pem")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(key.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Make the key available to the RSA object
success = rsa.UsePrivateKey(key)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
