Ed25519 Sign and Verify

See more Ed25519 Examples

Demonstrates how to create an Ed25519 signature, and then to verify it.

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

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

// This example shows only one way of loading an Ed25519 private key.
// Chilkat can load other formats (JWK, PEM, ASN.1 DER, etc.)
