curve25519 (http://cr.yp.to/ecdh.html) is new Diffie-Hellman software with several advantages over nistp224. One of the advantages is that the code is immune to compiler screwups: it's straight asm in *.s files. Subsequent versions will include a simpler API, a non-x86 port, and various speedups. ---D. J.
