(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) How to Generate a JSON Web Key (JWK)

Demonstrates how to generate the following types of JSON Web Keys:

  • RSA key pair
  • EC key pair
  • Octet sequence key (HMAC-256)
  • 192-bit AES GCM key

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or later.

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

' ----------------------------------------------
' Generate an RSA key pair in JWK format.
' (Examples for generating other key types are shown below...)
Dim rsa As New Chilkat.Rsa
Dim success As Boolean = rsa.GenerateKey(2048)
Dim rsaKey As Chilkat.PrivateKey = rsa.ExportPrivateKeyObj()
Dim rsaJwkStr As String = rsaKey.GetJwk()

' The string returned is the most compact possible, and therefore it is not
' very readable.  To pretty-print, load into a JSON object and emit..
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
json.EmitCompact = False
json.Load(rsaJwkStr)
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit())
