curve25519

Documentation

Overview

In cryptography, Curve25519 is an elliptic curve offering 128 bits of security and designed for use with the elliptic curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) key agreement scheme. It is one of the fastest ECC curves and is not covered by any known patents. The reference implementation is public domain software. The original Curve25519 paper defined it as a Diffie–Hellman (DH) function.
