This package provides python bindings to a C implementation of the Ed25519 public-key signature system [1]. The C code is copied from the SUPERCOP benchmark suite [2], using the portable "ref" implementation (not the high-performance assembly code), and is very similar to the copy in the NaCl library [3]. The C code is in the public domain [4]. This python binding is released under the MIT license [5].

With this library, you can quickly (2ms) create signing+verifying keypairs, derive a verifying key from a signing key, sign messages, and verify the signatures. The keys and signatures are very short, making them easy to handle and incorporate into other protocols. All known attacks take at least 2^128 operations, providing the same security level as AES-128, NIST P-256, and RSA-3072.

AMP Camps are Big Data training events organized by the UC Berkeley AMPLab that teach big data analytics, machine learning, and popular open-source technologies including projects produced by the AMPLab. All AMP Camp curriculum, and whenever possible videos of instructional talks presented at AMP Camps, are published here and accessible for free.

This page provides an overview of a few projects that seem doable over the course of approximately two months of thinking and programming, for someone who isn't yet acquainted with our code base. The list might seem long and daunting, the hope is that any single one of the projects would prove to be an interesting, but solvable, challenge. Moreover, we expect the projects to lead to tangible results quickly (after a couple days or two weeks of hacking at most), and that the goals could be extended in challenging and exciting directions as more milestones will be reached.
