Ed25519ph Sign and Verify

See more Ed25519 Examples

Demonstrates how to create an Ed25519ph signature, and then to verify it.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.91 or greater.

Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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