EdDSA

Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm

cryptohard

EdDSA is a modern signature scheme built on twisted Edwards curves, best known through its Ed25519 variant. It is fast, produces small signatures, and is deterministic, which removes the dangerous per-signature random nonce that has broken ECDSA deployments. It is widely used in SSH, TLS, and software signing.
