Reticulum/RNS/Cryptography/X25519.py

# By Nicko van Someren, 2021. This code is released into the public domain.
# Small modifications for use in Reticulum, and constant time key exchange
# added by Mark Qvist in 2022.

# WARNING! Only the X25519PrivateKey.exchange() method attempts to hide execution time.
# In the context of Reticulum, this is sufficient, but it may not be in other systems. If
# this code is to be used to provide cryptographic security in an environment where the
# start and end times of the execution can be guessed, inferred or measured then it is
# critical that steps are taken to hide the execution time, for instance by adding a
# delay so that encrypted packets are not sent until a fixed time after the _start_ of
# execution.
