(Excel) Get Ed25519 Key in Different Formats

Demonstrates how to get/save an Ed25519 private key to different formats.

Converting a private key from one format to another is done by loading in one format and saving/getting in another.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

' PKCS1 is a binary ASN.1 DER format.  You can examine the contents with two online tools:
' 1) Go to ASN.1 Decoder  and paste the base64 into the online form.
' 2) Or Decode Base64 ASN.1 to XML 

' The PKCS1 ASN.1 format for an Ed25519 key look like this:

'     SEQUENCE
'       OBJECT IDENTIFIER 1.3.101.110 curveX25519 (ECDH 25519 key agreement algorithm)
