(Go) Ed25519ph Sign and Verify

Demonstrates how to create an Ed25519ph signature, and then to verify it.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.91 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.
