Installation

npm install nacl-signature

Usage

Signing messages:

const signer = require('nacl-signature');

// base64 encoded secret key
const secretKey = 'AUBsLQhpSElD5LpLPB1p5JfwYHRIWjrsL+jJkHpBzyt+a1zqQLnX2ovt3czYD3TLU8MBE8MzEkhETP/H6y2ETA==';
// base64 encoded public key
const publicKey = 'fmtc6kC519qL7d3M2A90y1PDARPDMxJIREz/x+sthEw=';

// base64 encoded message signature
const signature = signer.sign('NaCL is amazing!', secretKey);

Verifying signatures:

// verifying a message, given its signature and the sender public key
if (signer.verify('NaCL is amazing!', signature, publicKey)){
    console.log('Signature is valid!');
}

Note: In production, remember that your "secret key" is secret!
