I do not believe you should be adding this to cryp

Alternatively, you can grab rev 234205ff from the

I agree this is a good interim solution because Go

| +BUILDING: |
| + |
| +If you run `make`, two .a archives will be built, similar to djb's curve25519 |
| +code. Alternatively, read on: |
| + |
| +The C implementation is contained within curve25519-donna.c. It has no external |
| +dependancies and is BSD licenced. You can copy/include/link it directly in with |
| +your program. Recommended C flags: -O2 |
| + |
| +The x86-64 bit implementation is contained within curve25519-donna-x86-64.c and |
| +curve25519-donna-x86-64.s. Build like this: |
| + |
| +% cpp curve25519-donna-x86-64.s > curve25519-donna-x86-64.s.pp |
| +% as -o curve25519-donna-x86-64.s.o curve25519-donna-x86-64.s.pp |
| +% gcc -O2 -c curve25519-donna-x86-64.c |
| + |
| +Then the two .o files can be linked in |
| + |
| +USAGE: |
| + |
| +The usage is exactly the same as djb's code (as described at |
| +http://cr.yp.to/ecdh.html) expect that the function is called curve25519_donna. |
| + |
| +In short, |
| + |
| +To generate a private key, generate 32 random bytes and: |
| + |
| + mysecret[0] &= 248; |
| + mysecret[31] &= 127; |
| + mysecret[31] |= 64; |
| + |
| +To generate the public key, just do |
| + |
| + static const uint8_t basepoint[32] = {9}; |
| + curve25519_donna(mypublic, mysecret, basepoint); |
| + |
| +To generate an agreed key do: |
| + uint8_t shared_key[32]; |
| + curve25519_donna(shared_key, mysecret, theirpublic); |
| + |
| +And hash the shared_key with a cryptographic hash function before using. |
