See more Ed25519 Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a new Ed25519 public/private key pair.

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

// Sample output:
// {
//   "kty": "OKP",
//   "crv": "Ed25519",
//   "x": "SE2Kne5xt51z1eciMH2T2ftDQp96Gl6FhY6zSQujiP0",
//   "d": "O-eRXewadF0sNyB0U9omcnt8Qg2ZmeK3WSXPYgqe570",
//   "use": "sig"
// }

// In the above JWK, x is the public key, y is the private key.
// Both are 32 bytes and are base64-url encoded.
