[openpgp] 25519 curve identifiers

[Marcus Brinkmann]

Hi,

currently, RFC4480bis specifies these curve identifiers:

1.3.6.1.4.1.11591.15.1 Ed25519
1.3.6.1.4.1.3029.1.5.1 Curve25519

These identifiers are a patchwork of private enterprise identifiers
(Werner Koch/GNU and Peter Gutmann/cryptlib resp.).

A more consistent effort is currently underway to specify curve
identifiers for these and two more variants in:

Algorithm Identifiers for Ed25519, Ed448, X25519 and X448 for use in the
Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-curdle-pkix

id-X25519 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 1 3 101 110 }
id-X448 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 1 3 101 111 }
id-Ed25519 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 1 3 101 112 }
id-Ed448 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 1 3 101 113 }

Maybe the working group can consider adopting these along with
clarifying the interpretation of the byte order in cv25519 (see mail
from Apr 9th).

Thanks,
Marcus

I see no harm in adding this.

My view is that we should add these, but of course still allow the old
versions as well.
