Xbase++ Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Generate RSA Key and return Base64 PKCS8 Private Key

See more RSA Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a new 2048-bit RSA private key and returns the Base64 encoded PKCS8 representation of the private key. Xbase++

LOCAL oRsa
LOCAL oPrivKey

//  Generate a 2048-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
//  key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 8192 bits.
oPrivKey := CreateObject("Chilkat.PrivateKey")
nSuccess := oRsa:GenKey(2048, oPrivKey)
IF (nSuccess == 0)

ENDIF

//  Get the private key in PKCS8 Base64 format
cPrivKeyPkcs8Base64 := oPrivKey:GetPkcs8ENC("base64")

//  The key in base64 format will start similar to this:
