Ed25519Extended Related to Ed25519Bip32 without the chain code
SumEd25519_12 For stake pool, necessary for the KES
Curve25519_2HashDH For stake pool, necessary for the VRF

There is a command line parameter to generate this keys:

$ jcli key generate --type=Ed25519
ed25519_sk1cvac48ddf2rpk9na94nv2zqhj74j0j8a99q33gsqdvalkrz6ar9srnhvmt

and to extract the associated public key:

$ echo ed25519_sk1cvac48ddf2rpk9na94nv2zqhj74j0j8a99q33gsqdvalkrz6ar9srnhvmt | jcli key to-public
ed25519_pk1z2ffur59cq7t806nc9y2g64wa60pg5m6e9cmrhxz9phppaxk5d4sn8nsqg
