Edwards Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) over Curve25519 as specified in
[RFC 8032][1].
This crate doesn't contain an implementation of Ed25519, but instead
contains an [`ed25519::Signature`][2] type which other crates can use in
conjunction with the [`signature::Signer`][3] and [`signature::Verifier`][4]
traits.
These traits allow crates which produce and consume Ed25519 signatures
to be written abstractly in such a way that different signer/verifier
providers can be plugged in, enabling support for using different
Ed25519 implementations, including HSMs or Cloud KMS services.
