This document specifies algorithm identifiers and ASN.1 encoding
formats for elliptic curve constructs using the curve25519 and
curve448 curves.  The signature algorithms covered are Ed25519 and
Ed448.  The key agreement algorithms covered are X25519 and X448.
The encoding for public key, private key, and Edwards-curve Digital
Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) structures is provided.

This document is a product of the CURves, Deprecating and a Little more Encryption Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
