RSA Signature SHA256withRSA, iso-8859-1, base64

See more RSA Examples

RSA sign the iso-8859-1 byte representation of a string with SHA256withRSA, and return the signature in the base64 encoding.

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

'  This example will duplicate the following Java code:
'  
'  Signature sign = Signature.getInstance("SHA256withRSA");
'  sign.initSign(privateKey);
'  sign.update(original.getBytes(Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1")));
'  
'  ...
'  byte[] resultado = sign.sign();
'  sello = encodeByteArrayToBase64(resultado);
'  

'  Load an RSA private key for signing.
'  You can load any format file.  This example loads a .pem, but you can provide path to any type of file holding a private key.
Dim privKey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey
success = privKey.LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/pem/rsa_passwd.pem","passwd")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(privKey.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
