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

Dim dsa As New Chilkat.Dsa

// Load a PEM private key.
Dim pemPrivateKey As String
pemPrivateKey = dsa.LoadText("dsa_priv.pem")
// Import the unencrypted PEM into the DSA object.
Dim success As Boolean
success = dsa.FromPem(pemPrivateKey)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(dsa.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Write it out as a DER file:
success = dsa.ToDerFile("dsa_priv.der")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(dsa.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Load an encrypted PEM private key.
pemPrivateKey = dsa.LoadText("dsa_privEncrypted.pem")
// Import the encrypted PEM into the DSA object.
success = dsa.FromEncryptedPem("myPassword",pemPrivateKey)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(dsa.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Write it out as an unencrypted DER file:
success = dsa.ToDerFile("dsa_priv2.der")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(dsa.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog("Finished!")
