I was referring to its use in HTTPS/TLS, but that's good to hear! :D
Hopefully they'll add it to Safari soon.
- dogma1138 10y agoWasn't contradicting you, just adding a bit of info. Does firefox actually supports X25519 now? I haven't seen it in the builds (it's also not on the reference list i use). I know Edge is going to support it by the end of the year, no clue on Safari yet. But anyhow if you want to have a full list of software that supports Curve25519/X25519(DH) as well as other open crypto standards IANIX has an upto date list https://ianix.com/index.html https://ianix.com/index.html
- byuu 10y agoOh okay, in that case my apologies for the misunderstanding ;) Firefox is said to support it in the nightly releases, but not yet in the official releases. This is the last time I checked about a month ago (I no longer use Firefox.)
