# 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:
set privKey [new_CkPrivateKey]

# Pass an empty password if not needed.
set password ""
set success [CkPrivateKey_LoadAnyFormatFile $privKey "qa_data/eddsa/ed25519.pem" $password]

# For example, an encrypted PKCS8 key of any type (Ed25519, RSA, EC, etc.)
set password "secret"
set success [CkPrivateKey_LoadAnyFormatFile $privKey "qa_data/rsa/pkcs8.key" $password]

# The same for public keys..
# (public keys never have nor need passwords)
set pubKey [new_CkPublicKey]

set success [CkPublicKey_LoadFromFile $pubKey "qa_data/pubkeys/pubkey_pkcs1.der"]
