See more ECC Examples

Demonstrates how to get an ECC private key in JWK (JSON Web Key) format.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or later.

  //  Load the PEM into a private key object.

  success := privKey.LoadPem(sbPem.GetAsString());
  if (success <> True) then
    begin
      WriteLn(privKey.LastErrorText);
      Exit;
    end;

  //  Get the private key in JWK format:
  jwk := privKey.GetJwk();

  //  The GetJwk method will return the JWK in the most compact JSON format possible,
  //  as a single line with no extra whitespace.  To get a more human-readable JWK (for this example),
  //  load into a Chilkat JSON object and emit non-compact:

  json := TJsonObject.Create;
  json.Load(jwk);
  json.EmitCompact := False;
  WriteLn('ECC Private Key in JWK format:');
  WriteLn(json.Emit());

  //  Sample output:
  //  { 
  //    "kty": "EC",
  //    "crv": "P-256",
  //    "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
  //    "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
  //    "d": "EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM"
  //  }
  //  

  //  Additional information can be added like this:
  json.AppendString('use','enc');
  json.AppendString('kid','123ABC');

  //  Now examine the JSON:
  WriteLn(json.Emit());

  //  { 
  //    "kty": "EC",
  //    "crv": "P-256",
  //    "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
  //    "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
