(C++) Generate RSA Key and return Base64 PKCS8 Private Key
Demonstrates how to generate a new 2048-bit RSA private key and returns the Base64 encoded PKCS8 representation of the private key. Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
#include <CkRsa.h>
#include <CkPrivateKey.h>
void ChilkatSample(void)
{
bool success = false;
CkRsa rsa;
// Generate a 2048-bit key. Chilkat RSA supports
// key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 8192 bits.
CkPrivateKey privKey;
success = rsa.GenKey(2048,privKey);
if (success == false) {
std::cout << rsa.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
return;
}
// Get the private key in PKCS8 Base64 format
const char *privKeyPkcs8Base64 = privKey.getPkcs8ENC("base64");
// The key in base64 format will start similar to this:
// MIIEvAIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BA...
std::cout << privKeyPkcs8Base64 << "\r\n";
}
