    //  This example also generates the public and private
    //  keys to be used in the RSA encryption.
    //  Normally, you would generate a key pair once,
    //  and distribute the public key to your partner.
    //  Anything encrypted with the public key can be
    //  decrypted with the private key.  The reverse is
    //  also true: anything encrypted using the private
    //  key can be decrypted using the public key.

    //  Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
    //  key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.

    //  Keys are exported in XML format:
    const char *publicKey = rsa.exportPublicKey();
    const char *privateKey = rsa.exportPrivateKey();

    //  Start with a new RSA object to demonstrate that all we
    //  need are the keys previously exported:
    CkRsa rsaEncryptor;

    //  Encrypted output is always binary.  In this case, we want
    //  to encode the encrypted bytes in a printable string.
    //  Our choices are "hex", "base64", "url", "quoted-printable".
    rsaEncryptor.put_EncodingMode("hex");

    //  We'll encrypt with the public key and decrypt with the private
    //  key.  It's also possible to do the reverse.
    success = rsaEncryptor.ImportPublicKey(publicKey);

    bool usePrivateKey = false;
    const char *encryptedStr = rsaEncryptor.encryptStringENC(plainText,usePrivateKey);

    CkRsa rsaDecryptor;

    rsaDecryptor.put_EncodingMode("hex");
    success = rsaDecryptor.ImportPrivateKey(privateKey);
