Ed25519ph Sign and Verify

See more Ed25519 Examples

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

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.91 or greater.

Objective-C

#import <NSString.h>
#import <CkoPrivateKey.h>
#import <CkoBinData.h>
#import <CkoEdDSA.h>
#import <CkoPublicKey.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

// Use the following test vector from https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8032#page-30

//    -----TEST abc
