_LANGUAGE_ example code showing how to generate an RSA public/private key pair and export to PEM files. 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 assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 8192 bits.
