Support for the Edwards curves - ed25519
Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2020 6:52 am
Recently, TinCanTech replied to a topic of mine saying that OpenVPN does not, at the moment, support the Edwards curves. So:
Given that I use OpenSSL with OpenVPN, a possibly self-serving observation is that I am OK with initially only providing support via OpenSSL.
- There appears to be some suspicion regarding NIST-supplied curves
- The Edwards curves are apparently more secure and more difficult to crack
- OpenSSL has supported them for more than a year
- OpenVPN does not support them
