Defines field 25519 function based on curve25519-donna C implementation (mostly identical).

Field elements are written as an array of signed, 64-bit limbs (an array of longs), least significant first. The value of the field element is:

x[0] + 2^26·x[1] + 2^51·x[2] + 2^77·x[3] + 2^102·x[4] + 2^128·x[5] + 2^153·x[6] + 2^179·x[7] +
2^204·x[8] + 2^230·x[9],

i.e. the limbs are 26, 25, 26, 25, ... bits wide.

During Field25519 computation, the mixed radix representation may be in different forms:
  • Reduced-size form: the array has size at most 10.
  • Non-reduced-size form: the array is not reduced modulo 2^255 - 19 and has size at most 19.
TODO(quannguyen):
  • Clarify ill-defined terminologies.
  • The reduction procedure is different from DJB's paper (http://cr.yp.to/ecdh/curve25519-20060209.pdf). The coefficients after reducing degree and reducing coefficients aren't guaranteed to be in range {-2^25, ..., 2^25}. We should check to see what's going on.
  • Consider using method mult() everywhere and making product() private.
