[Bug 1780807] Re: Please provide ED25519 support in 18.04 OpenSSL

[Wuttigf]

I also agree, with openSSL 1.1.0 is a bug when using RSA_PSS signed CA´s
in Apaache to check Client Auth. see http://mail-

Title:
  Please provide ED25519 support in 18.04 OpenSSL

Status in openssl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Current libss1.1 version in Bionic is 1.1.0g-2ubuntu4.1 and lacking
  support for the ED25519 signature algorithm.

  As ED25519 is quickly gaining traction as most demanded and preferred
  elliptic curve algorithm, it would be a substantial issue not to have
  any support for it in the remaining lifetime of Ubuntu LTS released
  most recently.

  OpenSSL is introducing ED25519 with their 1.1.1 release, which is
  currently in beta (openssl-1.1.1-pre8 as of today). I suggest to
  upgrade Bionic libss1.1 to OpenSSL 1.1.1, once finally released by
  OpenSSL.
