Description: Go NIST P elliptic curves (library)
 This package implements the NIST P elliptic curves, according to FIPS
 186-4 and SEC 1, Version 2.0, exposing the necessary APIs to build a
 wide array of higher-level primitives.
 .
 It's an exported version of crypto/internal/fips140/nistec in the
 standard library, which powers crypto/elliptic, crypto/ecdsa, and
 crypto/ecdh. The git history has been preserved, and new upstream
 changes are applied periodically.
 .
 This package uses fiat-crypto or specialized assembly and Go code for
 its backend field arithmetic (not math/big) and exposes
 constant-time, heap allocation-free, byte slice-based safe
 APIs. Group operations use modern and safe complete addition formulas
 where possible. The point at infinity is handled and encoded
 according to SEC 1, Version 2.0, and invalid curve points can't be
 represented. This makes it particularly suitable to be used as a
 prime order group implementation.
 .
 Use the purego build tag to exclude the assembly and rely entirely on
 formally verified fiat-crypto arithmetic and complete addition
 formulas.
