5// Package edwards25519 implements group logic for the twisted Edwards curve
6//
7//	-x^2 + y^2 = 1 + -(121665/121666)*x^2*y^2
8//
9// This is better known as the Edwards curve equivalent to Curve25519, and is
10// the curve used by the Ed25519 signature scheme.
11//
12// Most users don't need this package, and should instead use crypto/ed25519 for
13// signatures, golang.org/x/crypto/curve25519 for Diffie-Hellman, or
14// github.com/gtank/ristretto255 for prime order group logic.
15//
16// However, developers who do need to interact with low-level edwards25519
17// operations can use filippo.io/edwards25519, an extended version of this
18// package repackaged as an importable module.
19//
20// (Note that filippo.io/edwards25519 and github.com/gtank/ristretto255 are not
21// maintained by the Go team and are not covered by the Go 1 Compatibility Promise.)
