Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm
Overview
RFC 8032, “Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm”, is an Informational document published in January 2017 by S. Josefsson, I. Liusvaara. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes elliptic curve signature scheme Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA). The algorithm is instantiated with recommended parameters for the edwards25519 and edwards448 curves. An example implementation and test vectors are provided.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
