(C++) Generate RSA Key and Export to Encrypted PEM
C++ sample showing how to generate an RSA key and export to encrypted PEM. Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
#include <CkRsa.h>
#include <CkPrivateKey.h>
void ChilkatSample(void)
{
bool success = false;
// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
CkRsa rsa;
// Generate a 1024-bit key. Chilkat RSA supports
// key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
CkPrivateKey privKey;
success = rsa.GenKey(1024,privKey);
if (success == false) {
std::cout << rsa.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
return;
}
const char *strEncPem = 0;
strEncPem = privKey.getPkcs8EncryptedPem("myPassword");
// You now have the private key in an encrypted format,
// which may be (for example) saved to a database.
std::cout << strEncPem << "\r\n";
}
