Enumerate Private Keys in a PFX

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.PrivateKeyAt, which copies the private key at a zero-based index into a PrivateKey object. The example enumerates all private keys in the PFX.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim pfx As ChilkatPfx
pfx.Initialize

'  The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
'  may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
'  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
Dim password As String = "myPfxPassword"
success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/identity.pfx", password)
If success = False Then
    Log(pfx.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Enumerate the private keys in the PFX by zero-based index.  Valid indexes are less than
'  NumPrivateKeys.
Dim numKeys As Int = pfx.NumPrivateKeys
Dim privKey As ChilkatPrivateKey
privKey.Initialize("privKey")
Dim i As Int
For i = 0 To numKeys - 1
    success = pfx.PrivateKeyAt(i, privKey)
    If success = False Then
        Log(pfx.LastErrorText)
        Return
    End If

    Log("Private key " & i & ": " & privKey.KeyType & " (" & privKey.BitLength & " bits)")
