SimpleSignatureProtocol

SimpleSignatureProtocol​

protocol SimpleSignatureProtocol : AnyObject, Sendable

A basic signature

This enumeration defines the set of simple or basic signature schemes supported by IOTA. Most signature schemes supported by IOTA end up comprising of a at least one simple signature scheme.

BCS

The BCS serialized form for this type is defined by the following ABNF:

simple-signature = bytes ; where the contents of the bytes are defined by
; <simple-signature-body>
simple-signature-body = (ed25519-flag ed25519-signature ed25519-public-key) /
(secp256k1-flag secp256k1-signature secp256k1-public-key) /
(secp256r1-flag secp256r1-signature secp256r1-public-key)

Note: Due to historical reasons, signatures are serialized slightly different from the majority of the types in IOTA. In particular if a signature is ever embedded in another structure it generally is serialized as bytes meaning it has a length prefix that defines the length of the completely serialized signature.
