Groups - EdDSA Using Existing EC Key Types uploaded

        Submitter's message
        This submission is one of three proposal submissions. I am uploading three different proposals on how we can include RFC 8032 (Ed25519 and Ed448) and RFC 7748 (Curve25519 and Curve 448) in PKCS #11.

Note that all three proposals are incomplete at many levels, so keep that in minde.  The purpose of uploading them is to get feed back on which approach makes the most sense. 

Three proposals:
1)	A proposal to add an RFC 8032 and RFC 7748 specific section to the existing ?2.3 Elliptic Curve?.  This proposal re-uses the existing EC key types and provides guidance on how these curves and algorithms can be used.
2)	A proposal to adopt the CFRG concept of Octet Key Pairs (RFC 8037).  OKP?s are defined as new key types completely separate from the existing ?2.3 Elliptic Curve?.
3)	A proposal that introduces two new EC key types that are based on the three EC curve representations in use today.  The existing ?2.3 Elliptic Curve? section is based on X9 which takes for granted that everything is using Weierstrass representation.  This proposal defines an EC key type for Edwards Curves (RFC 8032) and an EC key type for Montgomery Curves (RFC 7748)
