Load an Ed25519 Private Key from Hex

See more Ed25519 Examples

Demonstrates how to load an Ed25519 private key from raw hex bytes.

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

Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let privKey = CkoPrivateKey()!

    // We have the hexidecimal encoded bytes of the private key and public key:
    var privKeyHex: String? = "d4ee72dbf913584ad5b6d8f1f769f8ad3afe7c28cbf1d4fbe097a88f44755842"
    var pubKeyHex: String? = "19bf44096984cdfe8541bac167dc3b96c85086aa30b6b6cb0c5c38ad703166e1"

    // Load these values into the Chilkat private key object:
    success = privKey.loadEd25519(privKey: privKeyHex, pubKey: pubKeyHex)
    if success == false {
        print("\(privKey.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // ---------------------------------------------------------------
    // We don't actually need the public key.  If we pass an empty string for the public key,
    // Chilkat will automatically compute it.
    let privKey2 = CkoPrivateKey()!
    success = privKey2.loadEd25519(privKey: privKeyHex, pubKey: "")

    // Let's get the public key to see that it computed the same value.
    let sbPubKeyHex = CkoStringBuilder()!
    privKeyHex = privKey2.getRawHex(pubKey: sbPubKeyHex)
    print("computed public key = \(sbPubKeyHex.getAsString()!)")

    // The output should be:
    // computed public key = 19bf44096984cdfe8541bac167dc3b96c85086aa30b6b6cb0c5c38ad703166e1
