(Node.js) Load any format Ed25519 Key

Demonstrates how to load any format Ed25519 private or public key.

Note: Chilkat began support for Ed25519 keys in version 9.5.0.83

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

    // 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:
    var privKey = new chilkat.PrivateKey();

    // Pass an empty password if not needed.
    var password = "";
    var 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)
    var pubKey = new chilkat.PublicKey();
    success = pubKey.LoadFromFile("qa_data/pubkeys/pubkey_pkcs1.der");
