<p>The 2.0 version of NATS server introduces a new challenge response authentication option. This challenge response is based on a wrapper we call NKeys which uses <a href="https://ed25519.cr.yp.to/" target="_blank">Ed25519</a> signing. The server can use these keys in several ways for authentication. The simplest is for the server to be configured with a list of known public keys and for the clients to respond to the challenge by signing it with its private key. This challenge-response insures security by insuring that the client has the private key, but also protects the private key from the server which never has to actually see it.</p>

<p>Handling challenge response may require more than just a setting in the connection options, depending on the client library.</p>
