- :>json base32 eddsa_sig: EdDSA signature_ (complete with purpose) over the SHA-512 hash of the concatenation of all SHA-512 hashes of the RSA denomination public keys in `denoms` (in the same order as they were in `denoms`). Note that for hashing, the binary format of the RSA public keys is used, and not their base32_ encoding. Wallets cannot do much with this signature by itself; it is only useful when multiple clients need to establish that the mint is cheating (with respect to end-user anonymity) by giving disjoint denomination keys to different users. If a mint were to do this, this signature allows the clients to demonstrate to the public that the mint is dishonest.

A denomination description in the `denoms` list is a JSON object with the following fields:
