(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) Generate an ECC Key (Public and Private)

Demonstrates how to generate an ECC key and save both public and private parts.

Chilkat Universal Windows Platform (UWP) / WinRT Downloads

Chilkat for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

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

' Create a Fortuna PRNG and seed it with system entropy.
' This will be our source of random data for generating the ECC private key.
Dim fortuna As New Chilkat.Prng
Dim entropy As String = fortuna.GetEntropy(32,"base64")
Dim success As Boolean = fortuna.AddEntropy(entropy,"base64")

Dim ecc As New Chilkat.Ecc

' Generate a random ECC private key on the secp256r1 curve.
' Chilkat also supports other curves, such as secp384r1, secp521r1, and secp256k1.

Dim privKey As Chilkat.PrivateKey = ecc.GenEccKey("secp256r1",fortuna)
If (ecc.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ecc.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Save the private key to PKCS8 encrypted PEM
' (The private key can be saved in a variety of different formats. See the online reference documentation.)
success = privKey.SavePkcs8EncryptedPemFile("pemPassword","qa_output/eccPrivKey.pem")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(privKey.LastErrorText)
End If




' The private key PEM looks like this:

' 	-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
' 	MIHFMEAGCSqGSIb3DQEFDTAzMBsGCSqGSIb3DQEFDDAOBAhUmn+1/lwCIwICCAAw
' 	FAYIKoZIhvcNAwcECPlyNXAXZO+oBIGAIvxvTENXJWbrCwSjh0QNxLecBotUpfI5

' 	t6LMScPQld4=
' 	-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----


' Now get the public key part from the private key.
' (A public key is actually a subset of the private key.)
Dim pubKey As Chilkat.PublicKey = privKey.GetPublicKey()

' Save the public key to a PEM file.
' (The public key can be saved in a variety of different formats. See the online reference documentation.)
' For ECC keys, the 1st argument (bPreferPkcs1) is ignored and unused.
Dim bPreferPkcs1 As Boolean = False
success = pubKey.SavePemFile(bPreferPkcs1,"qa_output/eccPubKey.pem")



' The public key PEM looks like this:

' 	-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
