Thanks re: [0]! Re [1] wouldn't openssl/boringssl/etc be the most widely used ECC library? Most people are using ECC with older style non-Edwards curves, also openssl has curve25519 in the next major release. NaCl seems to only do newer algos according to https://nacl.cr.yp.to/securing-communication.pdf https://nacl.cr.yp.to/securing-communication.pdf - what software uses NaCl now? Thanks!
