# 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 = chilkat.CkPrivateKey()

# 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 = chilkat.CkPublicKey()
success = pubKey.LoadFromFile("qa_data/pubkeys/pubkey_pkcs1.der")
