| 2 | +------------ |
| 3 | +This module implement Diffie-Hellman key exchange mechanism (ECDHA) based on elliptic curve |
| 4 | +known as Curve25519 in pure V. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +## About curve25519 |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +From wikipedia, Curve25519 is an elliptic curve used in elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) |
| 9 | +offering 128 bits of security (256-bit key size) and designed for use with the elliptic |
| 10 | +curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) key agreement scheme. |
| 11 | +It is one of the fastest curves in ECC, and is not covered by any known patents. |
| 12 | +The reference implementation is public domain software. The original Curve25519 paper defined it as |
| 13 | +a Diffie–Hellman (DH) function. |
| 14 | +Daniel J. Bernstein has since proposed that the name "Curve25519" be used for the underlying curve, |
| 15 | +and the name "X25519" for the DH function Curve25519 is an elliptic curve |
| 16 | +that offers 128 security bits |
| 17 | +and is designed for use in the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement key design scheme. |

| 19 | +Examples |
| 20 | +-------- |
| 21 | +```v |
| 22 | +import x.crypto.curve25519 |
| 23 | +
|
| 24 | +fn main() { |
| 25 | + // For example, two peers, Alice and Bob, want to create a shared secret together |
| 26 | + // |
| 27 | + // Alice generates a private key |
| 28 | + mut alice_pvkey := curve25519.PrivateKey.new()! |
| 29 | + // Alice's PublicKey to be shared with Bob |
| 30 | + alice_pbkey := alice_pvkey.public_key()! |
| 31 | +
|
| 32 | + // The other peer, Bob, has a different private key |
| 33 | + mut bob_pvkey := curve25519.PrivateKey.new()! |
| 34 | + // Bob's public key to be shared with Alice |
| 35 | + bob_pbkey := bob_pvkey.public_key()! |
| 36 | +
|
| 37 | + // Let the two peers exchange their respective public keys |
| 38 | + // |
| 39 | + // Alice derives the shared secret, using her own private key, and the public key that Bob shared |
| 40 | + alice_shared_sec := curve25519.derive_shared_secret(mut alice_pvkey, bob_pbkey)! |
| 41 | +
|
| 42 | + // Bob derives the shared secret, using his own private key, and the public key that Alice shared |
| 43 | + bob_shared_sec := curve25519.derive_shared_secret(mut bob_pvkey, alice_pbkey)! |
| 44 | +
|
| 45 | + // the two shared secrets (derived by Alice, and derived by Bob), should be the same |
| 46 | + // |
| 47 | + println(alice_shared_sec.hex()) // 49fd4a4d0637d2413cd501b20111fc50a592dc21460e45f451c03d1fd3cef900 |
| 48 | + println(bob_shared_sec.hex()) // 49fd4a4d0637d2413cd501b20111fc50a592dc21460e45f451c03d1fd3cef900 |
| 49 | + dump(alice_shared_sec == bob_shared_sec) // alice_shared_sec == bob_shared_sec: true |
| 50 | +
|
| 51 | + assert alice_shared_sec == bob_shared_sec |
| 52 | +} |
