crypto documentation for iota?

Question

Is there a documentation about the crypto-primitives and the crypto protocols, that are used by iota and how they are implemented? And if so, where ;-)

Answer 1

A good starting point is the IOTA Documentation:

• https://iota.readme.io/docs
  
  

As a next step you could look at the actual IOTA Reference Implementation (IRI) on GitHub:

• https://github.com/iotaledger/iri
  
  

For the theoretical framework behind all of this you should read:

• https://iota.org/IOTA_Whitepaper.pdf

Answer 2

Detailed documentation on the cryptography of IOTA can be found in the following page. There is a specific section on the streams in IOTA which is a recent cryptographic construction introduced by IOTA.
