Abstract Abstract
This document specifies the conventions for using Edwards-curve This document specifies the conventions for using Edwards-curve
Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) for Curve25519 and Curve448 in Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) for Curve25519 and Curve448 in
the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). For each curve, EdDSA the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). For each curve, EdDSA
defines the PureEdDSA and HashEdDSA modes. However, the HashEdDSA defines the PureEdDSA and HashEdDSA modes. However, the HashEdDSA
mode is not used with the CMS. In addition, no context string is mode is not used with the CMS. In addition, no context string is
used with the CMS. used with the CMS.

Using the same private key for different algorithms has the potential Using the same private key for different algorithms has the potential
of allowing an attacker to get extra information about the private of allowing an attacker to get extra information about the private
key. For this reason, the same private key SHOULD NOT be used with key. For this reason, the same private key SHOULD NOT be used with
