In the process of getting an analysis of what the implications of the PKIX encoding for the Curve25519 and Curve448 curves are the following questions have arisen: 1. Are there any known implications of using the same key pair for both ECDH and ECDH-HMQV? I know that there are some security considerations in terms of using ECDH-MQV. 2. Are there any known issues for using the 25519 and 448 curves with HMQV that would need to be called out? From my simplistic view of the world, I don't see anything that is a problem bug I cannot be sure. Jim
