Lua Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83+

Load any format Ed25519 Key

See more Ed25519 Examples

Demonstrates how to load any format Ed25519 private or public key. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

-- A private key, regardless of type or format (RSA, EC, DSA, Ed25519) can be loaded by
-- calling LoadAnyFormat or LoadAnyFormatFile.

-- Likewise, a public key, regardless of type or format can be loaded by calling
-- LoadFromFile or LoadBd.

-- For example:
local privKey = chilkat.PrivateKey.new()

-- Pass an empty password if not needed.
local password = ""
local success = privKey:load_any_format_file("qa_data/eddsa/ed25519.pem", password)

-- For example, an encrypted PKCS8 key of any type (Ed25519, RSA, EC, etc.)
password = "secret"
success = privKey:load_any_format_file("qa_data/rsa/pkcs8.key", password)

-- The same for public keys..
-- (public keys never have nor need passwords)
local pubKey = chilkat.PublicKey.new()
success = pubKey:load_from_file("qa_data/pubkeys/pubkey_pkcs1.der")
