// 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:
Chilkat.PrivateKey privKey = new Chilkat.PrivateKey();

// Pass an empty password if not needed.
string password = "";
bool success = privKey.LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/eddsa/ed25519.pem",password);

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

// The same for public keys..
// (public keys never have nor need passwords)
Chilkat.PublicKey pubKey = new Chilkat.PublicKey();
success = pubKey.LoadFromFile("qa_data/pubkeys/pubkey_pkcs1.der");
