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

LOCAL nSuccess
LOCAL oPrivKey
LOCAL cPassword
LOCAL oPubKey

nSuccess := 0

//  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:
oPrivKey := CreateObject("Chilkat.PrivateKey")

//  Pass an empty password if not needed.
cPassword := ""
nSuccess := oPrivKey:LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/eddsa/ed25519.pem", cPassword)

//  For example, an encrypted PKCS8 key of any type (Ed25519, RSA, EC, etc.)
cPassword := "secret"
nSuccess := oPrivKey:LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/rsa/pkcs8.key", cPassword)

//  The same for public keys..
//  (public keys never have nor need passwords)
oPubKey := CreateObject("Chilkat.PublicKey")
nSuccess := oPubKey:LoadFromFile("qa_data/pubkeys/pubkey_pkcs1.der")

oPrivKey:destroy()
oPubKey:destroy()
