(Go) Ed25519 Sign and Verify

Demonstrates how to create an Ed25519 signature, and then to verify it.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

Chilkat Go Downloads Go Package for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux, Solaris

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

    privKey := chilkat.NewPrivateKey()
    // This example shows only one way of loading an Ed25519 private key.
    // Chilkat can load other formats (JWK, PEM, ASN.1 DER, etc.)  
    // You may do so by calling LoadAnyFormat or LoadAnyFormatFile.

    fmt.Println("signature = ", *hexSig)

    // The expected output is: 6dd355667fae4eb43c6e0ab92e870edb2de0a88cae12dbd8591507f584fe4912babff497f1b8edf9567d2483d54ddc6459bea7855281b7a246a609e3001a4e08
