The XEdDSA and VXEdDSA Signature Schemes (whispersystems.org)
6 points by tptacek on Oct 21, 2016 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment


This is formal documentation for the elliptic curve signing system used by Signal, which is based on Bernstein, Schwabe, and Lange's Ed25519.

If you've tried to read EdDSA and Elligator papers before, you will probably find that this demystifies a bunch of it, since it's written specifically for implementors.
