Matt Sicker commented on SSHD-704:
----------------------------------
Though from a theoretical point of view, since there's already an EdDSA library
dependency that implements Edwards curves as in Ed25519 signatures, there's a
formula to convert Montgomery curves used in X25519 back and forth to their
corresponding Edwards curves.
Let {{p = 2^255 - 19}} and {{A = 486662}}. The Montgomery curve in X25519 is
the formula {{y^2 = x^3 + A*x^2 + x}} modulo {{p}} (i.e., over the finite prime
field). That's isomorphic to the Edwards curve with {{d = 1 - 1/121666}} in the
formula {{x^2 + y^2 = 1 + d*x^2*y^2}} modulo {{p}}. This allows implementers to
use either the Montgomery curve or the Edwards curve for calculations involving
either protocol (sounds handy for embedded platforms).
