Class Documentation

class Key25519(__builtin__.object)
	  __init__(self, secretkey=None, verifyingkey=None, pubkey=None)
	    '''
	      secretkey-->bytes[32]
	        verifyingkey-->bytes[32]
	      pubkey-->bytes[32]

	      A PublicKey version of the object will have ONLY verifyingkey
	      and pubkey and signingkey will be None
	      A PrivateKey version of the object will have secretkey set
	      and verifyingkey and pubkey are ignored and derived from secretkey

	      Storing and reusing the secretkey is a way to recreate your key pair
