Ed25519 employs a twisted Edwards curve defined over the finite field F with a specific equation, facilitating efficient elliptic curve computations. The curve's defined structure deviates from the typical Weierstrass format, allowing for enhanced efficiency in digital signature applications, such as Monero. Signatures require a determined base point, further expressed through modular arithmetic considerations. Solving for x involves specific mathematical computations, highlighting the intricate process behind elliptic curve implementations in digital signatures.
Ed25519 utilizes a twisted Edwards curve equation over the finite field F where q = 2^255 - 19 and d = -121665/121666, allowing efficient computations.
Elliptic curves can be expressed in the Weierstrass form, but a twisted Edwards form provides computational advantages in implementing digital signatures more efficiently.
