Dim success As Boolean
success = False

// 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 2048-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
// key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 8192 bits.
Dim privKey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey
success = rsa.GenKey(2048,privKey)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(rsa.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Dim pubKey As New Chilkat.PublicKey
success = privKey.ToPublicKey(pubKey)

// Save the private key in PEM format:
success = privKey.SavePemFile("privateKey.pem")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(privKey.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Save the public key in PEM format:
success = pubKey.SavePemFile(False,"publicKey.pem")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(pubKey.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog("Success.")
