Load any format Ed25519 Key

See more Ed25519 Examples

Demonstrates how to load any format Ed25519 private or public key.

Note: Chilkat began support for Ed25519 keys in version 9.5.0.83

    // 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:
    privKey = CkPrivateKeyW_Create();

    // Pass an empty password if not needed.
    password = L"";
    success = CkPrivateKeyW_LoadAnyFormatFile(privKey,L"qa_data/eddsa/ed25519.pem",password);

    // For example, an encrypted PKCS8 key of any type (Ed25519, RSA, EC, etc.)
    password = L"secret";
    success = CkPrivateKeyW_LoadAnyFormatFile(privKey,L"qa_data/rsa/pkcs8.key",password);

    // The same for public keys..
    // (public keys never have nor need passwords)
    pubKey = CkPublicKeyW_Create();
    success = CkPublicKeyW_LoadFromFile(pubKey,L"qa_data/pubkeys/pubkey_pkcs1.der");


    CkPrivateKeyW_Dispose(privKey);
    CkPublicKeyW_Dispose(pubKey);
