Phenomenal post by this individual regarding potential vulnerabilities in attempting to leverage ed25519 for HD keys (not as straightforwarfd as one would imagine that it is)

https://forum.w3f.community/t/key-recovery-attack-on-bip32-ed25519/44
Key recovery attack on BIP32-Ed25519 (they deserve their fucking credit for this ; just failing to understand why they're so daft in so many other areas of blockchain...just doesn't even make sense really)

libp2p TLS = https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-tls (this is the GitHub but there's no documentation that speaks on this as well ; fuck )

There's more information about TLS 1.3 for libp2p contained here = https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/tls/tls.md [had to find additional information]

Replacement / Currently used in lieu of the TLS that we were looking at above = https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-secio (secio)

More specs on the protocol can be found here = https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/secio/README.md [SECIO allows participating peers to support a subset of algorithms]

In-depth Post That Explains Everything That One Needs to Know About ed25519 Down to the Nucleus (gets into clamping / subgroups / all of that) = https://www.jcraige.com/an-explainer-on-ed25519-clamping
Threshold BLS Signatures (feel like we haven't gotten into blind signatures a lot lately) = https://www.jcraige.com/threshold-bls-signatures
Showing all of the algorithms that Cloudflare supports for DNSSEC (not ed448 ; few if any resolvers support ed448 - algorithm448 / naturally uses shake256 as well // the parameters of that curve seem to be problematic [also the strength of ed448 could pose an issue as well given U.S. export restrictions + that of other countries]

Edwards' Curve Resources

There are plenty of resources out there for ed25519, but it seems that there are few resources dedicated to ed448, so this list will make a concerted

1. IETF Outline / Guidance for ed448 Deployment (as well as ed25519)

2. Async SSH (allows for ed448 to be used ; this is not enabled with OpenSSH to the best of my knowledge) = https://asyncssh.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#interactive-input

3. https://github.com/otrv4/otrv4/blob/master/otrv4.md

4. BIP 32 With ed25519 = https://cardano.org/assets/Ed25519_BIP.pdf

4a. BIP32 with ed25519 keys ; GUI interface included here = https://superdarkbit.github.io/nano-bip32-ed25519/ (should look closely at the spec to ensure that these keys are being generated in a secure manner here ; there is nuance in the generation hierarchical deterministic key wallets when using Edwards' curves vs. secg curves)

(Double Ratchet Encryption Algorithm) <—- this is what Signal uses (and why people claim that Signal is so super secure

Original technique borrowed from 'off the record' encryption (Moxie has stated as much)

Blake3 Specs = https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3-specs/blob/master/blake3.pdf GitHub link is to the repo with Blake3.
Bao Function (part of Blake3); this allows you to take a 'slice' of a file that's already been encoded with Blake3 and determine whether the full file itself has been encoded with Blake3
