Technical Summary
This document describes the use of the Ed25519 and Ed448 digital
signature algorithm in the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.
Working Group Summary
This is an uncontroversial document to update the protocol to support
some more modern cryptographic algorithms.
Document Quality
There appear to be two independent implementations of at least
the ed25519 support; ed448 is quite similar so problems with the specification
are unlikely.
Personnel
Daniel Migault is the shepherd of the draft. Benjamin Kaduk is
the responsible Area Director.
