PHP Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Demonstrate RSA Encrypt/Decrypt using BinData

Demonstrates how to RSA encrypt and decrypt data contained in a Chilkat BinData object. Chilkat2 PHP

// The RSA public key is used for encryption, and the private key for decryption.

// The public key's role is to make encryption accessible to anyone while ensuring that
// only the private key holder can decrypt the messages.
// The public key is designed to be widely distributed so anyone can use it to encrypt messages
// intended for the owner of the private key.

// Load our 2048-bit RSA public key.
$pubKey = new PublicKey();
// In all Chilkat methods expecting a path, you pass either absolute or relative paths.

// RSA encryption is for small amounts of data, on the order of 200 bytes or less.
// The maximum number of bytes that can be RSA encrypted depends
// on the RSA key size and padding scheme (OAEP padding vs PKCS#1 v1.5 padding).
// For specific limits, see: RSA Encryption Maximum Number of Bytes

// Create some binary data to encrypt.
$bd = new BinData();

    $bd->AppendByte($i);
}

// Show the bytes to be encrypted in hex format:
echo 'To be encrypted: ', $bd->GetEncoded('hex'), "\n";

// To be encrypted: 000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F101112131415161718191A1B1C1D1E1F202122232425262728292A2B2C2D2E2F3031
