Abstract
This document specifies algorithm identifiers and ASN.1 encodingformats for elliptic curve constructs using the curve25519 andcurve448 curves. The signature algorithms covered are Ed25519 andEd448. The key agreement algorithms covered are X25519 and X448.The encoding for public key, private key, and Edwards-curve DigitalSignature Algorithm (EdDSA) structures is provided.
