Any plans for supporting FourQ Curve? #1138

Open liuweiran900217 opened 2 years ago

liuweiran900217 commented 2 years ago

We noticed that there is a new (and more efficient) ECC curve FourQ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FourQ). Although the C/C++ implementation (together with SIMD acceleration) can be much for efficient, we would wonder if Bouncy Castle has any plan for supporting this curve?

peterdettman commented 2 years ago

No current plans. It's an interesting curve, but unless it starts popping up in standards it's difficult to justify the effort ahead of everything else that needs doing.

I would need a native Java implementation for my current project: fourQ (ecc_mul and schnorrQ sign and verify with KangarooTwelve).

I would be willing to pay something for it. In addition to the standard implementation I am aware of implementations in C++, C (in the making) and a port to rust (maybe these could be used as a basis/reference).

@peterdettman are there any changes in plans or is it still out of scope?

peterdettman commented 8 months ago

The situation is still basically the same as above.
