In this little description we use the following notation:
+ concatenation
hash(x) the SHA-1 hash of x
sign(x, sk) the Ed25519 signature generated by signing x using signing key sk
verify(signature, x, vk) verifying the Ed25519 signature of x using veryfing key vk
There is a central identity server everyone trusts. The server has an Ed25519 keypair, the master keypair. Everyone possesses the master verification key (MVK), the signing key is kept secret (MSK).
