Python bindings to the Ed25519 public-key signature system.
This offers a comfortable python interface to a C implementation of the Ed25519 public-key signature system (http://ed25519.cr.yp.to/), using the portable 'ref' code from the 'SUPERCOP' benchmarking suite.
This system provides high (128-bit) security, short (32-byte) keys, short (64-byte) signatures, and fast (2-6ms) operation. Please see the README for more details.
For new applications, I recommend you use
pynacl instead of this repository.
PyNaCl is larger and takes longer to build (it contains the complete
NaCl/libsodium library, not just the ed25519 portion), but it is
well-maintained by the diligent and conscientious PyCA team, whereas I've
allowed this repository to languish. PyNaCl is also about 10-20 times
faster. A guide for migration fron python-ed25519 to PyNaCl is included
below.
