=head1 NAME

X25519 - EVP_PKEY X25519 support

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<X25519> EVP_PKEY implementation supports key generation and key
derivation using B<X25519>. It has associated private and public key formats
compatible with draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-03.

No additional parameters can be set during key generation.

The peer public key must be set using EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer() when
performing key derivation.

=head1 NOTES

A context for the B<X25519> algorithm can be obtained by calling:

 EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(NID_X25519, NULL);

=head1 EXAMPLE

This example generates an B<X25519> private key and writes it to standard
output in PEM format:

 #include <openssl/evp.h>
 #include <openssl/pem.h>
 ...
 EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
 EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(NID_X25519, NULL);
 EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx);
 EVP_PKEY_keygen(pctx, &pkey);
 EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);
 PEM_write_PrivateKey(stdout, pkey, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);

The key derivation example in L<EVP_PKEY_derive(3)> can be used with
B<X25519>.
