Hi, Some comments on the 3.3, plan:
- Add larger "safe" curves, e.g., M-383, curve41417, curve448 and
- E-521.
I think curve448 should be prioritized over anything else since it seems to be the only thing being standardized at the moment by CFRG: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7748
For password hashing (pbkdf2), it may also worth considering to add support for argon2,which seems to be the only password hashing algorithm coming out of a competition: https://password-hashing.net/
Side-channel silent mem_equalp.
Do you mean a function with run time independent of its input values? I have such a function at gnutls: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/blob/master/lib/safe-memfuncs.c#L70
regards, Nikos

Makes sense. IIRC, the corresponding Edwards curve for curve448 needs slightly different equations for scalar multiply with a fixed point.

Exactly.

Difficulty is proper naming... Since it doesn't distinguish between lexically smaller and larger like memcmp, I don't think it should be named like *_memcmp. And we also need a name for the nettle header file.

See patch below. Header file "memops.h", and function called memeql_sec. Any comments or opinions before I merge to master?
