# A compact Ed25519 and X25519 implementation for Rust
* Formally-verified Curve25519 field arithmetic
* `no_std`-friendly
* WebAssembly-friendly
* Compute@Edge-friendly
* Lightweight
* Zero dependencies if randomness is provided by the application
* Only one portable dependency (`getrandom`) if not
* Supports incremental signatures (streaming API)
* Safe and simple Rust interface
## [API documentation](https://docs.rs/ed25519-compact)
## Example usage
`cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
ed25519-compact = "2"
```
Example code:
```rust
// A message to sign and verify.
let message = b"test";
// Generates a new key pair using a random seed.
// A given seed will always produce the same key pair.
let key_pair = KeyPair::from_seed(Seed::default());
// Computes a signature for this message using the secret part of the key pair.
let signature = key_pair.sk.sign(message, Some(Noise::default()));
// Verifies the signature using the public part of the key pair.
key_pair
.pk
.verify(message, &signature)
.expect("Signature didn't verify");
// Verification of a different message using the same signature and public key fails.
key_pair
.pk
.verify(b"A different message", &signature)
.expect_err("Signature shouldn't verify");
// All these structures can be viewed as raw bytes simply by dereferencing them:
let signature_as_bytes: &[u8] = signature.as_ref();
println!("Signature as bytes: {:?}", signature_as_bytes);
```
## Incremental API example usage
Messages can also be supplied as multiple parts (streaming API) in order to handle large messages without using much memory:
```rust
/// Creates a new key pair.
let kp = KeyPair::generate();
/// Creates a state for an incremental signer.
let mut st = kp.sk.sign_incremental(Noise::default());
/// Feeds the message as any number of chunks, and sign the concatenation.
st.absorb("mes");
st.absorb("sage");
let signature = st.sign();
/// Creates a state for an incremental verifier.
let mut st = kp.pk.verify_incremental(&signature)?;
/// Feeds the message as any number of chunks, and verify the concatenation.
st.absorb("mess");
st.absorb("age");
st.verify()?;
```
## Cargo features
* `self-verify`: after having computed a new signature, verify that is it valid. This is slower, but improves resilience against fault attacks. It is enabled by default on WebAssembly targets.
* `std`: disables `no_std` compatibility in order to make errors implement the standard `Error` trait.
* `random` (enabled by default): adds `Default` implementations to the `Seed` and `Noise` objects, in order to securely create random keys and noise.
* `traits`: add support for the traits from the `ed25519` and `signature` crates.
* `pem`: add support for importing/exporting keys as OpenSSL-compatible PEM files.
* `blind-keys`: add support for key blinding.
* `opt_size`: Enable size optimizations (based on benchmarks, 8-15% size reduction at the cost of 6.5-7% performance).
* `x25519`: Enable support for the X25519 key exchange system.
* `disable-signatures`: Disable support for signatures, and only compile support for X25519.
