Miscellaneous

• Dan Bernstein: "An attacker who spends a billion dollars on special-purpose chips to attack Curve25519, using the best attacks available today, has about 1 chance in 1000000000000000000000000000 of breaking Curve25519 after a year of computation."
• Dmitry Chestnykh: "You can write a program to generate Curve25519 private key faster than PGP generates its private key."
• Adam Langley: "Of the concrete implementations of Diffie-Hellman, curve25519 is the fastest, common one. There are some faster primitives in eBACS, but the ones that are significantly faster are also significantly weaker."
• Matthew Green: "Any potential 'up my sleeve' number should be looked at with derision and thoroughly examined (Schneier thinks that the suggested NIST ECC curves are probably compromised by NSA using 'up my sleeve' constants). This is why I think we all should embrace DJB's curve25519."
• Frederic Jacobs: "It's incredible to realize that the TextSecure protocol enabled the largest end-to-end encrypted messaging deployement in history."
• GnuPG: "For many people the NIST and also the Brainpool curves have an doubtful origin and thus the plan for GnuPG is to use Bernstein's Curve 25519 as default. GnuPG 2.1.0 already comes with support for signing keys using the Ed25519 variant of this curve. This has not yet been standardized by the IETF (i.e. there is no RFC) but we won't wait any longer and go ahead using the proposed format for this signing algorithm."
• Ian Grigg: "In the past, things like TLS, PGP, IPSec and others encouraged you to slice and dice the various algorithms as a sort of alphabet soup mix. Disaster. What we got for that favour was code bloat, insecurity at the edges, continual arguments as to what is good & bad, focus on numbers & acronyms, distraction from user security, entire projects that rate your skills in cryptoscrabble, committeeitus, upgrade nightmares, pontification ... Cryptoplumbing shouldn't be like eating spagetti soup with a toothpick. There should be One Cipher Suite and that should do for everyone, everytime. There should be no way for users to stuff things up by tweaking a dial they read about in some slashdot tweakabit article while on the train to work... Picking curve25519xsalsa20poly1305 is good enough for that One True CipherSuite motive alone... It's an innovation! Adopt it."
• wolfSSL: "Curve25519 so far is destroying the key agreement and generation benchmarks of previous curves, putting up numbers for both key agreement and generation that are on average 86 percent faster than those of NIST curves."
• Adam Langley: "Current ECDSA deployments involve an ECDSA key in an X.509 certificate and ephemeral, ECDHE keys being generated by the server as needed. These ephemeral keys are signed by the ECDSA key. A similar design would have an Ed25519 key in the X.509 certificate and curve25519 used for ECDHE. I don't believe there's anything needed to get that working save for switching out the algorithms."
