The short answer is libgcrypt's cipher/ecc-curves.c , see line 45/46 for mapping of shortnames to OIDs. Now, I agree this should at least be case-insensitive, but there might be a feature request open for that already :) > > - Why do the algorithm ids (22 for „Ed25519“ and 18 for „Curve25519“) > not work? Algorithm IDs are not directly tied to curves, so that would be more related to Key-Type than Key-Curve (and corresponding subkey), not the OIDs. -- ---------------------------- Kristian Fiskerstrand Blog: https://blog.sumptuouscapital.com Twitter: @krifisk ---------------------------- Public OpenPGP keyblock at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3 ---------------------------- "If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies.
