Now that the JEP[1] for X25519/X448 key agreement is a candidate, we can
proceed with the API and specification review. Please review the
proposed API spec[2] and provide comments by the end of Saturday,
January 13, anywhere on earth. At that point, I will combine your
feedback with the initial feedback from the CSR group[3] and submit the
API for final review by the CSR.
The only significant change to the API since our last discussion[4] is
that I changed the names of the key specs and interfaces from "XDH..."
to "XEC..." This makes them more general and reusable in things like
XEdDSA[5] and other non-Diffie-Hellman cryptosystems based on the
representations/operations defined in RFC 7748[6].
