+.SH "NAME"
+Ed25519, Ed448 \&\- EVP_PKEY Ed25519 and Ed448 support
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The \fBEd25519\fR and \fBEd448\fR \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0 implementation supports key generation,
+one-shot digest sign and digest verify using PureEdDSA and \fBEd25519\fR or \fBEd448\fR
+(see \s-1RFC8032\s0). It has associated private and public key formats compatible with
+draft\-ietf\-curdle\-pkix\-04.
+.PP
+No additional parameters can be set during key generation, one-shot signing or
+verification. In particular, because PureEdDSA is used, a digest must \fB\s-1NOT\s0\fR be
+specified when signing or verifying.
+.SH "NOTES"
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+The PureEdDSA algorithm does not support the streaming mechanism
+of other signature algorithms using, for example, \fBEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR.
+The message to sign or verify must be passed using the one-shot
+\&\fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestVerify()\fR functions.
+.PP
+When calling \fBEVP_DigestSignInit()\fR or \fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit()\fR, the
+digest \fBtype\fR parameter \fB\s-1MUST\s0\fR be set to \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.
+.PP
+Applications wishing to sign certificates (or other structures such as
+CRLs or certificate requests) using Ed25519 or Ed448 can either use \fBX509_sign()\fR
+or \fBX509_sign_ctx()\fR in the usual way.
+.PP
+A context for the \fBEd25519\fR algorithm can be obtained by calling:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_ED25519, NULL);
+.Ve
+.PP
+For the \fBEd448\fR algorithm a context can be obtained by calling:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_ED448, NULL);
+.Ve
+.PP
+Ed25519 or Ed448 private keys can be set directly using
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key\fR\|(3) or loaded from a PKCS#8 private key file
+using \fBPEM_read_bio_PrivateKey\fR\|(3) (or similar function). Completely new keys
+can also be generated (see the example below). Setting a private key also sets
+the associated public key.
+.PP
+Ed25519 or Ed448 public keys can be set directly using
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_public_key\fR\|(3) or loaded from a SubjectPublicKeyInfo
+structure in a \s-1PEM\s0 file using \fBPEM_read_bio_PUBKEY\fR\|(3) (or similar function).
+.PP
+Ed25519 and Ed448 can be tested within \fBspeed\fR\|(1) application since version 1.1.1.
+Valid algorithm names are \fBed25519\fR, \fBed448\fR and \fBeddsa\fR. If \fBeddsa\fR is
+specified, then both Ed25519 and Ed448 are benchmarked.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
+This example generates an \fB\s-1ED25519\s0\fR private key and writes it to standard
+output in \s-1PEM\s0 format:
+.PP
+.Vb 9
+\& #include <openssl/evp.h>
+\& #include <openssl/pem.h>
+\& ...
+\& EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
+\& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_ED25519, NULL);
+\& EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx);
+\& EVP_PKEY_keygen(pctx, &pkey);
