## Ed25519 / eddsa support
## Ed25519 / EdDSA support
OpenKeychain supports elliptic curve cryptography, but only the ECDSA and ECDH algorithms as specified in [RFC 6637](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6637), which only support the NIST curves. To support the Ed25519 curve requires support for EdDSA as specified in [this Internet Draft](http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-koch-eddsa-for-openpgp-01.txt) by Werner Koch. This is also a requirement for compatibilty with OpenPGP keys generated by [Google End to End](https://github.com/google/end-to-end). This task includes implementing EdDSA in the [BouncyCastle](https://www.bouncycastle.org/) library, which OpenKeychain uses for its low-level crypto operations, and adding support for it in OpenKeychain's UI itself.
**Expected results:** Working implementation of Ed25519 EC crypto in OpenKeychain
