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

Dim pkey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey

// Load the private key from an RSA PEM file:
Dim success As Boolean
success = pkey.LoadPemFile("pvkey2_rsa.pem")

Dim pkeyXml As String
// Get the private key in XML format:
pkeyXml = pkey.GetXml()

Dim rsa As New Chilkat.Rsa

// Import the private key into the RSA object:
success = rsa.ImportPrivateKey(pkeyXml)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(rsa.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Get the signature as hex.
rsa.EncodingMode = "hex"

Dim strData As String
strData = "This is the string to be signed."

// Sign the string using the sha-1 hash algorithm.
// Other valid choices are "md2", "md5", "sha256",
// "sha384", and "sha512".
Dim hexSig As String
hexSig = rsa.SignStringENC(strData,"sha-1")

System.DebugLog(hexSig)

System.DebugLog("Success!")
