// 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 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 publicKeyXml As String
publicKeyXml = rsa.ExportPublicKey()
System.DebugLog(publicKeyXml)

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

// Save the private key in PEM format:
Dim privKey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey
success = privKey.LoadXml(privateKeyXml)
success = privKey.SavePemFile("privateKey.pem")

// Save the public key in PEM format:
Dim pubKey As New Chilkat.PublicKey
success = pubKey.LoadFromString(publicKeyXml)
success = pubKey.SavePemFile(False,"publicKey.pem")
