React Native Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

RSA Decrypt using PEM

See more RSA Examples

This example demonstrates decryping RSA encrypted data that is base64 encoded. It uses a private key loaded from a PEM file. React Native

import { PrivateKey, Rsa } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const rsa = new Rsa();

  const key = new PrivateKey();

  // Load an RSA private key from an unencrypted PEM file:
  // (To load from an encrypted PEM file, call LoadEncryptedPemFile instead.)

  try {
    key.loadPemFile('qa_data/rsa/decryptTest/priv.pem');
  } catch {
    console.log(key.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Make the key available to the RSA object
  try {
    rsa.usePrivateKey(key);
  } catch {
    console.log(rsa.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }
