I'm excited to announce the first public releases (v0.1.0) of two RubyGems implementing modern elliptic curve cryptography. *x25519*: elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman algorithm providing key exchange/agreement, described in RFC 7748: https://github.com/cryptosphere/x25519 *ed25519*: elliptic curve digital signature algorithm, described in RFC 8032: https://github.com/cryptosphere/ed25519 Both of these algorithms are already available in the RbNaCl gem, which I also authored. However, I wanted small self-contained versions of these algorithms, which are what these gems provide. Both of these algorithms have been standardized through the IRTF CFRG and are widely considered by cryptographers to represent the present recommended algorithms for these purposes.
