Ed25519 signature
The deterministic 64-byte elliptic-curve signature scheme Truestamp uses to sign the 32-byte domain-separated SHA-256 hashes of items, blocks, entropy observations, and proof bundle payloads, proving Truestamp's signing key endorsed exactly that object.
Signing-key ID (kid)
The 4-byte identifier of an Ed25519 signing key, SHA-256 over the 0x51 byte prefix and the public key truncated to 4 bytes and written as 8 lowercase hex characters, recorded on items, blocks, entropy observations, commitments, and the signing_key_id field of a bundle's subject and block maps.
