Curve25519-based schemes

Target entity: Curve25519-based schemes
Context triple: [Elliptic Curve Cryptography, hasVariant, Curve25519-based schemes]

• A. Diffie–Hellman key exchange
  Diffie–Hellman key exchange is a foundational cryptographic protocol that enables two parties to securely establish a shared secret over an insecure communication channel.
• B. Elliptic Curve Cryptography
  Elliptic Curve Cryptography is a public-key cryptographic approach that uses the mathematics of elliptic curves over finite fields to provide strong security with relatively small key sizes.
• C. Negotiated Finite Field Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Parameters for Transport Layer Security (TLS)
  "Negotiated Finite Field Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Parameters for Transport Layer Security (TLS)" is an IETF standard (RFC 7919) that defines secure, standardized finite-field Diffie-Hellman parameter sets for use in TLS to improve cryptographic security and interoperability.
• D. Secrecy, Authentication, and Public Key Systems
  "Secrecy, Authentication, and Public Key Systems" is Ralph Merkle's influential doctoral thesis that helped lay the foundations of modern public-key cryptography and secure communication protocols.
• E. New Directions in Cryptography
  New Directions in Cryptography is a landmark 1976 paper that introduced the concepts of public-key cryptography and digital signatures, fundamentally reshaping modern cryptography and secure communications.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
