(VB.NET) Generate RSA Public/Private Key
VB.NET example code showing how to generate an RSA public/private key.
' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
Dim rsa As New Chilkat.Rsa
' 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.
Dim success As Boolean = rsa.GenerateKey(1024)
If (success <> True) Then
Debug.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText)
Exit Sub
End If
' Keys are exported in XML format:
Dim publicKey As String = rsa.ExportPublicKey()
Debug.WriteLine(publicKey)
Dim privateKey As String = rsa.ExportPrivateKey()
Debug.WriteLine(privateKey)
