Curve25519 elliptic curve diffie hellman (X25519)

Curve25519 elliptic curve from Specification, and extra information also on Wikipedia

Example

Creating a curve25519 point from a secret:

use cryptoxide::curve25519::curve25519_base;

let secret : [u8;32] = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0];
let public = curve25519_base(&secret);

Doing a ECDH on curve25519 using a curve point ‘other_point’ and a specific secret:

use cryptoxide::curve25519::{curve25519_base, curve25519};

let secret : [u8;32] = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0];
let public = curve25519(&secret, &other_point);
