I'm working on code that signs a message with an ed25519 key.
I expected that when signing the same message over and over, I'd get a
different signature each time.
But I find when I run the test (below) more than once, I get the same
signature bytes each time. Here's sample (identical) output from two
consecutive tests:
$ go run ~/devel/signtest/*.go
{
"Format": "ssh-ed25519",
"Blob":
"BRnwjfCMNZiqRRJdkZi7Gh0sOdJzOcPVIu/wWxlpRjogRnGJT3yn0wH3Fz6WvAmdYakNY7qkKfgSWe+t9PXiCQ=="
}
$ go run ~/devel/signtest/*.go
{
"Format": "ssh-ed25519",
"Blob":
"BRnwjfCMNZiqRRJdkZi7Gh0sOdJzOcPVIu/wWxlpRjogRnGJT3yn0wH3Fz6WvAmdYakNY7qkKfgSWe+t9PXiCQ=="
}
Am I misunderstanding how the ed25519 package signs? Do I have a bug in
the test code?
I'm very eager to better understand what's going on. Thanks in advance for
any help.
