Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: nicoo <ni...@debian.org> * Package name : golang-filippo-edwards25519 Version : 1.0.0-beta.2-1 Upstream Author : Filippo Valsorda * URL : https://github.com/FiloSottile/edwards25519 * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: Go Description : low-level implementation of the Ed25519 elliptic curve
This library implements the edwards25519 elliptic curve, exposing the necessary APIs to build a wide array of higher-level primitives. It is originally derived from Adam Langley's internal implementation in the Go standard library, and includes George Tankersley's performance improvements (https://golang.org/cl/71950). It was then further developed by Henry de Valence for use in ristretto255. Most users don't need this package, and should instead use crypto/ed25519 for signatures, golang.org/x/crypto/curve25519 for Diffie-Hellman, or github.com/gtank/ristretto255 for prime order group logic. However, for anyone currently using a fork of crypto/ed25519/internal/edwards25519 or github.com/agl/edwards25519, this package should be a safer, faster, and more powerful alternative. This is a dependency of newer versions of age, by the same author.
