' 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:
Dim privKey As New PrivateKey

' Pass an empty password if not needed.
Dim password As String
password = ""
Dim success As Long
success = privKey.LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/eddsa/ed25519.pem",password)

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

' The same for public keys..
' (public keys never have nor need passwords)
Dim pubKey As New PublicKey
success = pubKey.LoadFromFile("qa_data/pubkeys/pubkey_pkcs1.der")
