See more Ed25519 Examples

Demonstrates how to load an Ed25519 private key from raw hex bytes.

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

llSuccess = .F.

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

loPrivKey = createobject("CkPrivateKey")

// We have the hexidecimal encoded bytes of the private key and public key:
lcPrivKeyHex = "d4ee72dbf913584ad5b6d8f1f769f8ad3afe7c28cbf1d4fbe097a88f44755842"
lcPubKeyHex = "19bf44096984cdfe8541bac167dc3b96c85086aa30b6b6cb0c5c38ad703166e1"

// Load these values into the Chilkat private key object:
llSuccess = loPrivKey.LoadEd25519(lcPrivKeyHex,lcPubKeyHex)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loPrivKey.LastErrorText
    release loPrivKey
    return
endif

// ---------------------------------------------------------------
// We don't actually need the public key.  If we pass an empty string for the public key,
// Chilkat will automatically compute it.
loPrivKey2 = createobject("CkPrivateKey")
llSuccess = loPrivKey2.LoadEd25519(lcPrivKeyHex,"")

// Let's get the public key to see that it computed the same value.
loSbPubKeyHex = createobject("CkStringBuilder")
lcPrivKeyHex = loPrivKey2.GetRawHex(loSbPubKeyHex)
? "computed public key = " + loSbPubKeyHex.GetAsString()

// The output should be:
// computed public key = 19bf44096984cdfe8541bac167dc3b96c85086aa30b6b6cb0c5c38ad703166e1
