Demonstrates how to RSA encrypt a randomly generated AES key. Xojo Plugin

Dim success As Boolean

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

// First generate a 256-bit AES key (32 bytes).

Dim bdAesKey As New Chilkat.BinData

// Use a public key from a certificate for RSA encryption.

    System.DebugLog(cert.LastErrorText)

// RSA encrypt our 32-byte AES key.
// The contents of bdAesKey are replaced with result of the RSA encryption.
