NAME

crypto_ed25519_sign, crypto_ed25519_check, crypto_ed25519_public_keypublic key signatures

SYNOPSIS

#include <monocypher-ed25519.h>
void
crypto_ed25519_public_key(uint8_t public_key[32], const uint8_t secret_key[32]);
void
crypto_ed25519_sign(uint8_t signature[64], const uint8_t secret_key[32], const uint8_t public_key[32], const uint8_t *message, size_t message_size);
int
crypto_ed25519_check(const uint8_t signature[64], const uint8_t public_key[32], const uint8_t *message, size_t message_size);

DESCRIPTION

The crypto_ed25519_sign() and crypto_ed25519_check() functions provide Ed25519 public key signatures and verification with SHA-512 as the underlying hash function; they are interoperable with other Ed25519 implementations. If you have no interoperability requirements, prefer crypto_sign(3monocypher).
The arguments and security considerations are the same as those described in crypto_sign(3monocypher).
An incremental interface is available; see crypto_ed25519_sign_init_first_pass(3monocypher).

RETURN VALUES

crypto_ed25519_public_key() and crypto_ed25519_sign() return nothing.
crypto_ed25519_check() returns 0 for legitimate messages and -1 for forgeries.

SEE ALSO

crypto_check(3monocypher), crypto_key_exchange(3monocypher), crypto_lock(3monocypher), crypto_sha512(3monocypher), intro(3monocypher)

STANDARDS

These functions implement Ed25519 as described in RFC 8032.

HISTORY

The crypto_ed25519_sign(), crypto_ed25519_check(), and crypto_ed25519_public_key() functions appeared in Monocypher 3.0.0. They replace recompilation of Monocypher with the ED25519_SHA512 preprocessor definition.
