VBScript Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Encrypt with Chilkat, Decrypt with OpenSSL

See more OpenSSL Examples

Demonstrates how to RSA encrypt a string using Chilkat, and then shows the corresponding OpenSSL command to RSA decrypt. The OpenSSL command to decrypt is as follows:

openssl rsautl -decrypt -inkey VP_Private.pem -in rsa_encrypted.bin -out original.txt

VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

'  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
'  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

'  Note: RSA encryption uses the public key.  
'  RSA decryption uses the private key.
'  The reason is that the public key can be freely provided to anybody.  This allows anybody
'  to send an encrypted message to the private key owner, and only the private key owner 
'  can decrypt.

End If

'  Load the public key into the RSA object.

'  anyway to show that LittleEndian byte ordering is required for OpenSSL compatibility.
