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.

import { BinData, EdDSA, PrivateKey, PublicKey } from '@chilkat/react-native'

  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const privKeyHex = '1498b5467a63dffa2dc9d9e069caf075d16fc33fdd4c3b01bfadae6433767d93';

  const privKey = new PrivateKey();
  // 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.
  try {

  bd.appendString('Message for Ed25519 signing', 'utf-8');

  const eddsa = new EdDSA();
  const hexSig = eddsa.signBdENC(bd, 'hexlower', privKey);

  console.log(`signature = ${hexSig}`);

  // The expected output is: 6dd355667fae4eb43c6e0ab92e870edb2de0a88cae12dbd8591507f584fe4912babff497f1b8edf9567d2483d54ddc6459bea7855281b7a246a609e3001a4e08
