Digital Signatures

Keeta Network uses digital signatures for digitally signing blocks and votes, and cryptographic hashing for referencing blocks.

The network currently supports 3 different cryptographic algorithms for performing digital signatures, but is extensible to support additional algorithms, as well as deprecating algorithms in the future should the need arise.

The currently supported algorithms are:

  • EcDSA with secp256k1

  • EcDSA with secp256r1

  • Ed25519
