VBScript sample showing how to generate an RSA key and export to encrypted PEM.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

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

success = 0

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

set rsa = CreateObject("Chilkat.Rsa")

' Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
' key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
set privKey = CreateObject("Chilkat.PrivateKey")
success = rsa.GenKey(1024,privKey)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

strEncPem = privKey.GetPkcs8EncryptedPem("myPassword")

' You now have the private key in an encrypted format,
' which may be (for example) saved to a database.

outFile.WriteLine(strEncPem)

outFile.Close
