I know that OpenSSH team original put some of theses cryptos into
OpenSSH because they didn't exist in upstream crypto libraries at the
time. However, this really feels like something that should go into
libressl or openssl. As it will open it up to other applications that
may use those crypto standards.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for taking the time and pointing out the inconsistencies of the license terms. You are right and I have not paid enough attention on it. This can be changed easily to meet openssh requirements.
I am considering a cleanup round to get rid of duplicates and some reorganization of files. I welcome reviews and appreciate comments.
Regards
mehdi.

I haven't looked at the code... and I'm not qualified to look at assembly and crypto code, so I won't comment on that, but you are not exactly clear on the license on the code. In your readme you first state 'All rights reserved' ... then claim the code is in 'the public domain'. Looking into the headings on the source-code, I see a BSD like license-text:
Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted provided that source code retains the

But otherwise... well done on building a fast cypher

I have developed a compact at the same time high performance library for
curve25519/ed25519 and I have placed it in the public domain. It support DH
key exchange as well as ed25519 keygen, sign and verify. The implementation
is constant-time, supports blinding, bulk-verify and more.
The library is available as portable-C as well as ASM for Intel-x64 CPUs.
It outperforms curve25519-donna by a factor of 3.6 to 11 depending on the
target.
You may have a look at the source code hosted at:
https://github.com/msotoodeh/curve25519.
I was wondering if OpenSSH is a suitable home for this library?
Thanks, Mehdi.
