# Interface EdECPublicKey

All Superinterfaces:
  `EdECKey`, `Key`, `PublicKey`, `Serializable`

    public interface EdECPublicKey
    extends EdECKey, PublicKey

An interface for an elliptic curve public key as defined by RFC 8032: Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA). These keys are distinct from the keys represented by `ECPublicKey`, and they are intended for use with algorithms based on RFC 8032 such as the EdDSA `Signature` algorithm.

An Edwards-Curve public key is a point on the curve, which is represented using an EdECPoint.
