(VB.NET) Load PEM Public/Private Key into RSA Object

Demonstrates how to load a PEM key into the Chilkat RSA object.

Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Framework Chilkat for .NET Core

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

Dim rsa As New Chilkat.Rsa

' First demonstrate importing a PEM public key:
Dim publicKeyPem As String = "PEM public-key data goes here"
Dim pubkey As New Chilkat.PublicKey

Dim success As Boolean = pubkey.LoadFromString(publicKeyPem)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(pubkey.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim publicKeyXml As String = pubkey.GetXml()

success = rsa.ImportPublicKey(publicKeyXml)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Demonstrate importing a PEM private key:
Dim privateKeyPem As String = "PEM private-key data goes here"
Dim privkey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey

' If the private key PEM is protected with a password, then 
' call LoadEncryptedPem.  Otherwise call LoadPem.
success = privkey.LoadPem(privateKeyPem)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(privkey.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim privateKeyXml As String = privkey.GetXml()
success = rsa.ImportPrivateKey(privateKeyXml)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("OK!")
