package ed25519

import "golang.org/x/crypto/ed25519"

Package ed25519 implements the Ed25519 signature algorithm. See https://ed25519.cr.yp.to/.

These functions are also compatible with the “Ed25519” function defined in RFC 8032. However, unlike RFC 8032's formulation, this package's private key representation includes a public key suffix to make multiple signing operations with the same key more efficient. This package refers to the RFC 8032 private key as the “seed”.

This package is a wrapper around the standard library crypto/ed25519 package.

Functions ¶

func GenerateKey ¶

func GenerateKey(rand io.Reader) (PublicKey, PrivateKey, error)

GenerateKey generates a public/private key pair using entropy from rand. If rand is nil, crypto/rand.Reader will be used.

func Sign ¶

func Sign(privateKey PrivateKey, message []byte) []byte

Sign signs the message with privateKey and returns a signature. It will panic if len(privateKey) is not PrivateKeySize.

func Verify ¶

func Verify(publicKey PublicKey, message, sig []byte) bool

Verify reports whether sig is a valid signature of message by publicKey. It will panic if len(publicKey) is not PublicKeySize.

Types ¶

type PrivateKey ¶

type PrivateKey = ed25519.PrivateKey

PrivateKey is the type of Ed25519 private keys. It implements crypto.Signer.

This type is an alias for crypto/ed25519's PrivateKey type. See the crypto/ed25519 package for the methods on this type.

func NewKeyFromSeed ¶

func NewKeyFromSeed(seed []byte) PrivateKey

NewKeyFromSeed calculates a private key from a seed. It will panic if len(seed) is not SeedSize. This function is provided for interoperability with RFC 8032. RFC 8032's private keys correspond to seeds in this package.

type PublicKey ¶

type PublicKey = ed25519.PublicKey

PublicKey is the type of Ed25519 public keys.

This type is an alias for crypto/ed25519's PublicKey type. See the crypto/ed25519 package for the methods on this type.
