RSA_SavePrivateKeyInfo

Saves a private key string to an (unencrypted) PKCS-8 PrivateKeyInfo file.

VB6/VBA

Debug.Print "Testing RSA_SavePrivateKeyInfo ..."
Dim strEPKFile As String
Dim strPriFile As String
Dim strPEMFile As String
Dim strPassword As String
Dim strPrivateKey As String
Dim nRet As Long

strEPKFile = "rsa508.epk"
strPriFile = "rsa508.pri"
strPEMFile = "rsa508.pem"
strPassword = "password"

' Read in the deciphered private key string
strPrivateKey = rsaReadPrivateKey(strEPKFile, strPassword)
If Len(strPrivateKey) = 0 Then
    MsgBox "Unable to retrieve private key"
    Exit Sub
End If
Debug.Print "Key size=" & RSA_KeyBits(strPrivateKey) & " bits"

' Save as unencrypted PrivateKeyInfo file
nRet = RSA_SavePrivateKeyInfo(strPriFile, strPrivateKey, 0)
Debug.Print "RSA_SavePrivateKeyInfo returns " & nRet

' Save as unencrypted PEM-format file
nRet = RSA_SavePrivateKeyInfo(strPEMFile, strPrivateKey, PKI_KEY_FORMAT_PEM)
Debug.Print "RSA_SavePrivateKeyInfo returns " & nRet

Output

Testing RSA_SavePrivateKeyInfo ...
Key size=508 bits
RSA_SavePrivateKeyInfo returns 0
RSA_SavePrivateKeyInfo returns 0
