PRG

Pseudo-random number generator - the ultimate crypto primitive.

Elliptic Curve

ECC uses the curve to form a Galois Field where the discrete log problem is hard.

I think it only allows for key exchange.

For 25519 I'd really like to know the cycle length.

Primes

Also form a Galois Field with a hard discrete log.

Feistel Network

Turns a cryptographic hash into a symmetric cipher.
