1 The crypto::x25519 module provides functions to generate key pairs and to 2 derive shared keys between them, based on curve25519. 3 4 A key pair is created by generating a private key with [[newkey]] and deriving 5 the public key with [[pubkey]]. A shared key can be found by using [[derive]]. 6 7 Do not use the same secret key for both key exchanges and signatures. The public 8 keys are different and revealing both may leak information. 9 10 This is a low-level module which implements cryptographic primitives. Direct use 11 of cryptographic primitives is not recommended for non-experts, as incorrect use 12 of these primitives can easily lead to the introduction of security 13 vulnerabilities. Non-experts are advised to use the high-level operations 14 available in the top-level [[crypto::]] module. 15 16 Be advised that Hare's cryptography implementations have not been audited.
