Convert DSA PEM Private Key to DER

See more DSA Examples

Converts a DSA private key from PEM format to DER. The first part of the example will convert an unencrypted PEM to DER, then 2nd part will convert an encrypted PEM to unencrypted DER. VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

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