EVP_SIGNATURE-ED25519(7SSL) OpenSSL EVP_SIGNATURE-ED25519(7SSL)
NAME
EVP_SIGNATURE-ED25519, EVP_SIGNATURE-ED448, Ed25519, Ed448 - EVP_PKEY Ed25519 and Ed448
support
DESCRIPTION
The Ed25519 and Ed448 EVP_PKEY implementation supports key generation, one-shot digest
sign and digest verify using PureEdDSA and Ed25519 or Ed448 (see RFC8032). It has
associated private and public key formats compatible with RFC 8410.
ED25519 and ED448 Signature Parameters
No additional parameters can be set during one-shot signing or verification. In
particular, because PureEdDSA is used, a digest must NOT be specified when signing or
verifying. See EVP_PKEY-X25519(7) for information related to X25519 and X448 keys.
The following signature parameters can be retrieved using EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params().
"algorithm-id" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID) <octet string>
The parameters are described in provider-signature(7).
NOTES
The PureEdDSA algorithm does not support the streaming mechanism of other signature
algorithms using, for example, EVP_DigestUpdate(). The message to sign or verify must be
passed using the one-shot EVP_DigestSign() and EVP_DigestVerify() functions.
When calling EVP_DigestSignInit() or EVP_DigestVerifyInit(), the digest type parameter
MUST be set to NULL.
Applications wishing to sign certificates (or other structures such as CRLs or certificate
requests) using Ed25519 or Ed448 can either use X509_sign() or X509_sign_ctx() in the
usual way.
Ed25519 or Ed448 private keys can be set directly using EVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key(3) or
loaded from a PKCS#8 private key file using PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey(3) (or similar
function). Completely new keys can also be generated (see the example below). Setting a
private key also sets the associated public key.
Ed25519 or Ed448 public keys can be set directly using EVP_PKEY_new_raw_public_key(3) or
loaded from a SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure in a PEM file using PEM_read_bio_PUBKEY(3)
(or similar function).
Ed25519 and Ed448 can be tested with the openssl-speed(1) application since version 1.1.1.
Valid algorithm names are ed25519, ed448 and eddsa. If eddsa is specified, then both
Ed25519 and Ed448 are benchmarked.
EXAMPLES
To sign a message using a ED25519 or ED448 key:
void do_sign(EVP_PKEY *ed_key, unsigned char *msg, size_t msg_len)
{
size_t sig_len;
unsigned char *sig = NULL;
EVP_MD_CTX *md_ctx = EVP_MD_CTX_new();
EVP_DigestSignInit(md_ctx, NULL, NULL, NULL, ed_key);
/* Calculate the requires size for the signature by passing a NULL buffer */
EVP_DigestSign(md_ctx, NULL, &sig_len, msg, msg_len);
sig = OPENSSL_zalloc(sig_len);
EVP_DigestSign(md_ctx, sig, &sig_len, msg, msg_len);
...
OPENSSL_free(sig);
EVP_MD_CTX_free(md_ctx);
}
