Notation agreements

For ease of explanation we use following notations:

Ed25519 keys & signatures

• abc or abcSK is a secret component of abc key pair

  Technically, under abc we mean a file with binary representation of abc keypair's secret key component.

• abc.pub or abcPK is a public component of abc key pair

  Technically, under abc.pub we mean a file with base64-url representation of abc keypair's public key component.

• xyz.sig is a signature of arbitrary data xyz with some private key (which private key -- is to be clarified in the context of usage)

  abc.pub.sig

  is signature of some public key abc.pub

  .. provide abcPK.sig, done with xyz

  abcPK.sig refers to a signature of abc.pub, produced by secret key xyz

Also, we eventually would use abbreviates PK and SK which conform to public key and secret key respectively.

Please be noted that abcPK could always be deterministically derived from abcSK, hence when we say we hold or provide abcSK that is actually the same as we provide both components of pair.

RSCoin address

For referring to RSCoin address, both multisig and simple, we use public component of Ed25519 key. Technically speaking, it's base64-url representation.
