// 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.
// Note: Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.49, RSA key sizes can be up to 8192 bits.
// It takes a considerable amount of time and processing power to generate
// an 8192-bit key.
Dim success As Boolean
success = rsa.GenerateKey(1024)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(rsa.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Keys are exported in XML format:
Dim publicKey As String
publicKey = rsa.ExportPublicKey()
System.DebugLog(publicKey)

Dim privateKey As String
privateKey = rsa.ExportPrivateKey()
System.DebugLog(privateKey)
