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 releases 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. |
