Add subdomain with ed25519 cert? #382

Open mruffalo opened 5 years ago

I have no idea how feasible this would be, but would it be possible and worthwhile to add a subdomain with an ed25519 certificate? Since this is not a supported curve, this would be an expected failure, and this would change in the future if use of this curve is standardized.

I gather that OpenSSL ecparams and ec subcommands don't support ed25519, so it seems like it might be quite difficult to obtain/generate such a certificate. It seems worth entering an issue anyway, even if just to get feedback like "we'd love to, but not feasible at the moment for reasons X, Y, Z, ..."

This should be given the Secure (Uncommon) treatment instead, since Ed25519 is a secure algorithm, which also has additional protections against side channel and broken RNG attacks.
