Verify JWT with EdDSA / Ed25519 Signature

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.84 or greater.

Demonstrates how to verify a JWT that was signed using an Ed25519 private key.

This example verifies the EdDSA signature. It also does the following:

  • Checks to see if the time constraints ("nbf" and "exp") are valid.
  • Recovers the original JOSE header.
  • Recovers the original data.
