Question on key algorithms used #1

Closed AMythicDev closed 3 years ago

AMythicDev commented 3 years ago

So just a few questions regarding the algorithms. What key algorithms are being used when encrypting/decrypting data and signing/verifying it

brndnmtthws commented 3 years ago

For public-key encryption, it's based on X25519 (i.e., Diffie-Hellman on elliptic curve 25519).

The secret-key based stuff can use any randomly generated key.

For the most part, everything matches that of the libsodium implementation.

Thanks. It would be great if you just write about it in the docs. Anyways thanks again

There are some mentions in the docs already. Where specifically are you looking? I can add some more detail if you can indicate where it's missing from.

I think you should probably add something in keypair module. That should probably do it
