This library implements the edwards25519 elliptic curve, exposing the necessary APIs to build a wide array of higher-level primitives.
Read the docs at [pkg.go.dev/filippo.io/edwards25519](https://pkg.go.dev/filippo.io/edwards25519).
The code 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.
The code 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, and was finally [merged back into the Go standard library](https://golang.org/cl/276272) as of Go 1.17. It now tracks the upstream codebase and extends it with additional functionality.
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.
