For proposal 228, we need to cross-certify our identity with our curve25519 key, so that we can prove at descriptor-generation time that we own that key. But how can we sign something with a key that is only for doing Diffie-Hellman? By converting it to the corresponding ed25519 point. See the ALL-CAPS warning in the documentation. According to djb (IIUC), it is safe to use these keys in the ways that ntor and prop228 are using them, but it might not be safe if we start providing crazy oracle access. (Unit tests included. What kind of a monster do you take me for?)
Tor protects your privacy on the internet by hiding the connection
between your Internet address and the services you use. We believe Tor
is reasonably secure, but please ensure you read the instructions and
configure it properly.
