CKM_EC_MONTGOMERY_KEY_PAIR_GEN
Generate keys over Montgomery curves. Keys generated with this mechanism are of type CKK_EC_MONTGOMERY. They can be used with the existing CKM_ECDH1_DERIVE mechanism. Given that the ECDH mechanism is the same, and relies on "point multiply" on the given curve, no Montgomery-specific mechanism is provided at this time. Allowed curve is "Curve25519".
