RSA Sign with PKCS8 Encrypted Key

See more RSA Examples

Demonstrates how to load a private key from an encrypted PKCS8 file and create an RSA digital signature. 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)

success = 0

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

set pkey = CreateObject("Chilkat.PrivateKey")

' Load the private key from an RSA PEM file:
success = pkey.LoadPkcs8EncryptedFile("privateKey.key","myPassword")

set rsa = CreateObject("Chilkat.Rsa")

' Import the private key into the RSA object:
success = rsa.UsePrivateKey(pkey)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Return the signature in hex
rsa.EncodingMode = "hex"

strData = "This is the string to be signed."

' Sign the string using the sha-1 hash algorithm.
' Other valid choices are "md2", "sha256", "sha384", "sha512",  and "md5".
hexSig = rsa.SignStringENC(strData,"sha-1")

outFile.WriteLine(hexSig)

outFile.Close
