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.

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.

    // Alice's private key, a:
