#verify(signature, message) ⇒ true

Verify an Ed25519 signature against the message

Parameters:

  • signature (String) —

    64-byte string containing an Ed25519 signature

  • message (String) —

    string containing message to be verified

Returns:

  • (true) —

    message verified successfully

Raises:

  • Ed25519::VerifyError signature verification failed
