(VB.NET) RSA Sign with PKCS8 Encrypted Key
Demonstrates how to load a private key from an encrypted PKCS8 file and create an RSA digital signature.Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
Dim success As Boolean = False
' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
Dim pkey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey
' Load the private key from an RSA PEM file:
success = pkey.LoadPkcs8EncryptedFile("privateKey.key","myPassword")
Dim rsa As New Chilkat.Rsa
' Import the private key into the RSA object:
success = rsa.UsePrivateKey(pkey)
If (success = False) Then
Debug.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText)
Exit Sub
End If
' Return the signature in hex
rsa.EncodingMode = "hex"
Dim strData As String = "This is the string to be signed."
' Sign the string using the sha-1 hash algorithm.
' Other valid choices are "md2", "sha256", "sha384", "sha512", and "md5".
Dim hexSig As String = rsa.SignStringENC(strData,"sha-1")
Debug.WriteLine(hexSig)
