Missing support for ContextData (context strings) for EdDSA signatures #873

Open

Description

@Jakuje

While testing pkc11-provider, I noticed the softhsm is ignoring the EDDSA signature params including the context strings, causing hard to debug issues when signature is generated using softhsm, but it is impossible to verify it with public key and implementation that looks to the context strings.

    I have a fix here : #892
    If you can do some tests.
    I am a bit more certain about the OpenSSL implementation than the Botan one
