*** ** * ** ***
An interface for an elliptic curve public key as defined by[RFC 8032: Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8032). 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.
