See their implementation in `src/util/crypto_rsa.c`, in GNUNET's code base. Finally, they are defined in `gnunet/gnunet_crypto_lib.h`. + EdDSA signatures are always made on the hash of a block of the same generic format, the `struct SignedData` given below. In our notation, the type of a field can depend on the value of another field. For the following message, the length of the `payload` array must match the value of the `size` field: .. sourcecode:: c |
