(Go) Generate RSA Key and Export to Encrypted PEM
Go sample showing how to generate an RSA key and export to encrypted PEM. Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
success := false
// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
rsa := Rsa_Ref.html">chilkat.NewRsa()
// Generate a 1024-bit key. Chilkat RSA supports
// key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
privKey := PrivateKey_Ref.html">chilkat.NewPrivateKey()
success = rsa.GenKey(1024,privKey)
if success == false {
fmt.Println(rsa.LastErrorText())
rsa.DisposeRsa()
privKey.DisposePrivateKey()
return
}
var strEncPem *string = new(string)
strEncPem = privKey.GetPkcs8EncryptedPem("myPassword")
// You now have the private key in an encrypted format,
// which may be (for example) saved to a database.
fmt.Println(*strEncPem)
rsa.DisposeRsa()
privKey.DisposePrivateKey()
