ED25519

  • Ed25519 is an EdDSA signature scheme that uses Edwards curve equivalent of Curve25519 for digital signatures.
  • The "25519" in Ed25519 and Curve25519 refers to the prime number (2255192^{255} - 19), which is a fundamental part of the curve's definition. Ed25519 uses 256-bit private keys and produces 256-bit public keys.
    • therefore, cryptographic-length of Ed25519 is 256 bits, i.e. 22562^{256} of possible private keys.
