Curve25519 is an elliptic curve, developed by Dan Bernstein, for fast Diffie-Hellman key agreement.

Warning! This implementation is susceptible to timing attacks!

Usage Example

// what Alice does
byte[] aliceRandomBytes = new byte[32];
RNGCryptoServiceProvider.Create().GetBytes(aliceRandomBytes);

byte[] alicePrivate = Curve25519.ClampPrivateKey(aliceRandomBytes);
byte[] alicePublic = Curve25519.GetPublicKey(alicePrivate);

// what Bob does
byte[] bobRandomBytes = new byte[32];
RNGCryptoServiceProvider.Create().GetBytes(bobRandomBytes);

byte[] bobPrivate = Curve25519.ClampPrivateKey(bobRandomBytes);
byte[] bobPublic = Curve25519.GetPublicKey(bobPrivate);

// what Alice does with Bob's public key
byte[] aliceShared = Curve25519.GetSharedSecret(alicePrivate, bobPublic);

// what Bob does with Alice' public key
byte[] bobShared = Curve25519.GetSharedSecret(bobPrivate, alicePublic);

// aliceShared == bobShared

ECDSA

You cannot sign and verify messages with the implementation above. If you need an ECDSA you can use Ed25519.

A good port of Ed25519 can be found here:
