Module mundane::public::ec

Elliptic Curve-based cryptographic algorithms over NIST P curves.

This module only supports elliptic curve cryptography over NIST’s P curves, defined in FIPS 186-3. These are the P-256, P-384, and P-521 curves (P-224 is considered insecure, and thus is not supported). The ECDSA and ECDH algorithms are both defined over P curves, and so are exposed in this module.

Other elliptic curve algorithms on non-P curves live in other modules (e.g., operations on the Edwards 25519 curve live in the ed25519 module).
