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.

Unicode C++

#include <CkPrivateKeyW.h>
#include <CkStringBuilderW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkPrivateKeyW privKey;

    // We have the hexidecimal encoded bytes of the private key and public key:
    const wchar_t *privKeyHex = L"d4ee72dbf913584ad5b6d8f1f769f8ad3afe7c28cbf1d4fbe097a88f44755842";
    const wchar_t *pubKeyHex = L"19bf44096984cdfe8541bac167dc3b96c85086aa30b6b6cb0c5c38ad703166e1";

    // Load these values into the Chilkat private key object:
    success = privKey.LoadEd25519(privKeyHex,pubKeyHex);
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",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.
    CkPrivateKeyW privKey2;
    success = privKey2.LoadEd25519(privKeyHex,L"");

    // Let's get the public key to see that it computed the same value.
    CkStringBuilderW sbPubKeyHex;
    privKeyHex = privKey2.getRawHex(sbPubKeyHex);
    wprintf(L"computed public key = %s\n",sbPubKeyHex.getAsString());

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