[ed25519](http://ed25519.cr.yp.to/) is an
|
||
|
[Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algortithm](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_DSA),
|
||
|
developed by [Dan Bernstein](http://cr.yp.to/djb.html),

This project provides performant, portable 32-bit & 64-bit implementations. All implementations are
|
||
|
of course constant time in regard to secret data.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Performance
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSE2 code and benches have not been updated yet. I will do those next.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Compilers versions are gcc 4.6.3, icc 13.1.1, clang 3.4-1~exp1.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Batch verification time (in parentheses) is the average time per 1 verification in a batch of 64 signatures. Counts are in thousands of cycles.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that SSE2 performance may be less impressive on AMD & older CPUs with slower SSE ops!
|
||
|
|
||
|
Visual Studio performance for `ge25519_scalarmult_base_niels` will lag behind a bit until optimized assembler versions of `ge25519_scalarmult_base_choose_niels`
|
||
|
are made.

#### Compilation
|
||
|
|
||
|
No configuration is needed **if you are compiling against OpenSSL**.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### Hash Options
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you are not compiling aginst OpenSSL, you will need a hash function.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use a simple/**slow** implementation of SHA-512, use `-DED25519_REFHASH` when compiling `ed25519.c`.
|
||
|
This should never be used except to verify the code works when OpenSSL is not available.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use a custom hash function, use `-DED25519_CUSTOMHASH` when compiling `ed25519.c` and put your
|
||
|
custom hash implementation in ed25519-hash-custom.h. The hash must have a 512bit digest and implement
|
||
|
|
||
|
struct ed25519_hash_context;
|
||
|
|
||
|
void ed25519_hash_init(ed25519_hash_context *ctx);
|
||
|
void ed25519_hash_update(ed25519_hash_context *ctx, const uint8_t *in, size_t inlen);
|
||
|
void ed25519_hash_final(ed25519_hash_context *ctx, uint8_t *hash);
|
||
|
void ed25519_hash(uint8_t *hash, const uint8_t *in, size_t inlen);
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### Random Options
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you are not compiling aginst OpenSSL, you will need a random function for batch verification.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use a custom random function, use `-DED25519_CUSTOMRANDOM` when compiling `ed25519.c` and put your
|
||
|
custom hash implementation in ed25519-randombytes-custom.h. The random function must implement:
|
||
|
|
||
|
void ED25519_FN(ed25519_randombytes_unsafe) (void *p, size_t len);
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use `-DED25519_TEST` when compiling `ed25519.c` to use a deterministically seeded, non-thread safe CSPRNG
|
||
|
variant of Bob Jenkins [ISAAC](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISAAC_%28cipher%29)
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### Minor options
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use `-DED25519_INLINE_ASM` to disable the use of custom assembler routines and instead rely on portable C.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use `-DED25519_FORCE_32BIT` to force the use of 32 bit routines even when compiling for 64 bit.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### 32-bit
|
||
|
|
||
|
gcc ed25519.c -m32 -O3 -c
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### 64-bit
|
||
|
|
||
|
gcc ed25519.c -m64 -O3 -c
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### SSE2
|
||
|
|
||
|
gcc ed25519.c -m32 -O3 -c -DED25519_SSE2 -msse2
|
||
|
gcc ed25519.c -m64 -O3 -c -DED25519_SSE2
|
||
|
|
||
|
clang and icc are also supported
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use the code, link against `ed25519.o -mbits` and:
|
||
|
|
||
|
#include "ed25519.h"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Add `-lssl -lcrypto` when using OpenSSL (Some systems don't need -lcrypto? It might be trial and error).
|
||
|
|
||
|
To generate a private key, simply generate 32 bytes from a secure
|
||
|
cryptographic source:
|
||
|
|
||
|
ed25519_secret_key sk;
|
||
|
randombytes(sk, sizeof(ed25519_secret_key));
|
||
|
|
||
|
To generate a public key:
|
||
|
|
||
|
ed25519_public_key pk;
|
||
|
ed25519_publickey(sk, pk);
|
||
|
|
||
|
To sign a message:
|
||
|
|
||
|
ed25519_signature sig;
|
||
|
ed25519_sign(message, message_len, sk, pk, signature);
|
||
|
|
||
|
To verify a signature:
|
||
|
|
||
|
int valid = ed25519_sign_open(message, message_len, pk, signature) == 0;
|
||
|
|
||
|
To batch verify signatures:
|
||
|
|
||
|
const unsigned char *mp[num] = {message1, message2..}
|
||
|
size_t ml[num] = {message_len1, message_len2..}
|
||
|
const unsigned char *pkp[num] = {pk1, pk2..}
|
||
|
const unsigned char *sigp[num] = {signature1, signature2..}
|
||
|
int valid[num]
|
||
|
|
||
|
/* valid[i] will be set to 1 if the individual signature was valid, 0 otherwise */
|
||
|
int all_valid = ed25519_sign_open_batch(mp, ml, pkp, sigp, num, valid) == 0;
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Note**: Batch verification uses `ed25519_randombytes_unsafe`, implemented in
|
||
|
`ed25519-randombytes.h`, to generate random scalars for the verification code.
|
||
|
The default implementation now uses OpenSSLs `RAND_bytes`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Unlike the [SUPERCOP](http://bench.cr.yp.to/supercop.html) version, signatures are
|
||
|
not appended to messages, and there is no need for padding in front of messages.
|
||
|
Additionally, the secret key does not contain a copy of the public key, so it is
|
||
|
32 bytes instead of 64 bytes, and the public key must be provided to the signing
|
||
|
function.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### Curve25519
|
||
|
|
||
|
Curve25519 public keys can be generated thanks to
|
||
|
[Adam Langley](http://www.imperialviolet.org/2013/05/10/fastercurve25519.html)
|
||
|
leveraging Ed25519's precomputed basepoint scalar multiplication.
|
||
|
|
||
|
curved25519_key sk, pk;
|
||
|
randombytes(sk, sizeof(curved25519_key));
|
||
|
curved25519_scalarmult_basepoint(pk, sk);
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note the name is curved25519, a combination of curve and ed25519, to prevent
|
||
|
name clashes. Performance is slightly faster than short message ed25519
|
||
|
signing due to both using the same code for the scalar multiply.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Testing
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fuzzing against reference implemenations is now available. See [fuzz/README](fuzz/README.md).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Building `ed25519.c` with `-DED25519_TEST` and linking with `test.c` will run basic sanity tests
|
||
|
and benchmark each function. `test-batch.c` has been incorporated in to `test.c`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
`test-internals.c` is standalone and built the same way as `ed25519.c`. It tests the math primitives
|
||
|
with extreme values to ensure they function correctly. SSE2 is now supported.

||
