Ed25519 Key Exchange (Shared Secret)

See more Ed25519 Examples

Demonstrates how to create an Ed25519 shared secret for use in key exchange.

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

Rust

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

// Alice's private key, a:
//     77076d0a7318a57d3c16c17251b26645df4c2f87ebc0992ab177fba51db92c2a
// Alice's public key, X25519(a, 9):
//     8520f0098930a754748b7ddcb43ef75a0dbf3a0d26381af4eba4a98eaa9b4e6a
// Bob's private key, b:
//     5dab087e624a8a4b79e17f8b83800ee66f3bb1292618b6fd1c2f8b27ff88e0eb

//     de9edb7d7b7dc1b4d35b61c2ece435373f8343c85b78674dadfc7e146f882b4f
// Their shared secret, K:
