Dim success As Boolean

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

Dim rsa As New Chilkat.Rsa

// Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
// key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
Dim privKey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey
success = rsa.GenKey(1024,privKey)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(rsa.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Dim strEncPem As String
strEncPem = privKey.GetPkcs8EncryptedPem("myPassword")

// You now have the private key in an encrypted format,
// which may be (for example) saved to a database.

System.DebugLog(strEncPem)
