crypto/
ed25519: promote from golang.org/x/crypto/
ed25519
The crypto/tls and crypto/x509 APIs leak PublicKey and PrivateKey types,
so in order to add support for
Ed25519 certificates we need the
ed25519
package in the stdlib.
It's also a primitive that's reasonable to use directly in applications,
as it is a modern, safe and fast signing algorithm, for which there
aren't higher level APIs. (The nacl/sign API is limiting in that it
repeats the message.)
A few docs changes will come in a follow-up, and a CL will land on
golang.org/x/crypto/
ed25519 to make it a type alias wrapper on Go 1.13+.
