Public bug reported:
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.
