What it does

Implementing Digital Signatures With Ed25519 is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Implements digital signatures using the Ed25519 algorithm (Curve25519), covering key-pair generation, signing, signature verification, and security tradeoffs versus RSA and ECDSA. Use when adding message or artifact signing and authentication-integrity checks to a system, or when advising on Ed25519 key properties and validation criteria.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/template.md`, `references/api-reference.md` and `references/standards.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Cryptography and Webhooks. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Artifact signing and authentication-integrity checks to a system
  • Advising on Ed25519 key properties and validation criteria

Example prompts

  • “Use the implementing-digital-signatures-with-ed25519 skill to implement digital signatures using the Ed25519 algorithm (Curve25519), covering…”
  • “/implementing-digital-signatures-with-ed25519”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Implementing Digital Signatures With Ed25519 loads about 875 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 356 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~875
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Implementing Digital Signatures with Ed25519

Overview

Ed25519 is a high-performance digital signature algorithm using the Edwards curve Curve25519. It provides 128-bit security with 64-byte signatures and 32-byte keys, offering significant advantages over RSA and ECDSA including deterministic signatures (no random nonce needed), resistance to side-channel attacks, and fast verification. This skill covers implementing Ed25519 for document signing, code signing, and API authentication.

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring implementing digital signatures with ed25519 capabilities in your environment
  • When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
  • When building or improving security architecture for this domain
  • When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with cryptography concepts and tools
  • Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
  • Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
  • Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

Objectives

  • Generate Ed25519 key pairs for signing
  • Sign messages and files with Ed25519
  • Verify signatures against public keys
  • Implement multi-signature verification
  • Build a simple code signing system
  • Compare Ed25519 performance with RSA and ECDSA

Key Properties
  • Deterministic: Same message + key always produces same signature
  • Collision-resistant: No separate hash function needed
  • Side-channel resistant: Constant-time implementation
  • Small keys: 32 bytes each (public and private)

Security Considerations

  • Ed25519 does not support key recovery from signatures
  • Verify the full message, not a hash (Ed25519 hashes internally)
  • Public keys must be validated before use (check for low-order points)
  • Private keys should be stored encrypted at rest
  • Ed25519 is not yet approved for all NIST use cases (Ed448 is preferred for federal)

Validation Criteria

  • Key pair generation produces valid Ed25519 keys
  • Signature verification succeeds for valid message
  • Signature verification fails for tampered message
  • Signature verification fails for wrong public key
  • Deterministic: same input produces same signature
  • File signing and verification works correctly
  • Performance meets or exceeds RSA-3072
