Ed25519 Sign and Verify

See more Ed25519 Examples

Demonstrates how to create an Ed25519 signature, and then to verify it.

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

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.

# This example shows only one way of loading an Ed25519 private key.
# Chilkat can load other formats (JWK, PEM, ASN.1 DER, etc.)  
# You may do so by calling LoadAnyFormat or LoadAnyFormatFile.
