From what I can tell, the iPhone also supports Curve25519 (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cryptokit/curve25519) and the docs specify that the enclave supports "256bit elliptic curve algorithms". Are you sure it only supports P256?
Unfortunately, it looks like Android may only support RSA and P256.
Maybe we should just add support for both at the same time?

The cost of adding two algorithms versus one is pretty minimal.

Yeah, the more the merrier, Curve25519 is getting a lot of traction too, and youre right, adding more is easy.

Hey @whyrusleeping, would you mind adding this proposal/summary to the FIPs Discussion Forum too, so I can steward it for community feedback? Thank you! |

Closing PR, per this thread. |
I've wanted this for a while, seems like better late than never.
