See more Ed25519 Examples

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

Note: Chilkat began support for Ed25519 keys in version 9.5.0.83

PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

# 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:
$privKey = New-Object Chilkat.PrivateKey

# Pass an empty password if not needed.
$password = ""
$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)
$pubKey = New-Object Chilkat.PublicKey
$success = $pubKey.LoadFromFile("qa_data/pubkeys/pubkey_pkcs1.der")
