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

; Note: Ebay provides a Key Management API
; See https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/developer/key-management/overview.html

; The following test keys can be used: 
; 
; Ed25519 
; 
; Private Key:
; 
; -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
; MC4CAQAwBQYDK2VwBCIEIJ+DYvh6SEqVTm50DFtMDoQikTmiCqirVv9mWG9qfSnF
; -----END PRIVATE KEY-----

Local $strPrivateKey = "MC4CAQAwBQYDK2VwBCIEIJ+DYvh6SEqVTm50DFtMDoQikTmiCqirVv9mWG9qfSnF"

; 
; Public Key:
; 
; -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
; MCowBQYDK2VwAyEAJrQLj5P/89iXES9+vFgrIy29clF9CC/oPPsw3c5D0bs=
; -----END PUBLIC KEY-----

Local $strPublicKey = "MCowBQYDK2VwAyEAJrQLj5P/89iXES9+vFgrIy29clF9CC/oPPsw3c5D0bs="

; This example assumes you got a JWE for your given private key from the Ebay Key Management REST API.
; This JWE is just for example:
