32 * $Log: ec.h,v $
02d7884d 33 * Revision 1.10 2004/04/03 03:32:05 mdw
34 * General robustification.
35 *
34e4f738 36 * Revision 1.9 2004/04/01 12:50:09 mdw
37 * Add cyclic group abstraction, with test code. Separate off exponentation
38 * functions for better static linking. Fix a buttload of bugs on the way.
39 * Generally ensure that negative exponents do inversion correctly. Add
40 * table of standard prime-field subgroups. (Binary field subgroups are
41 * currently unimplemented but easy to add if anyone ever finds a good one.)
42 *
432c4e18 43 * Revision 1.8 2004/03/27 17:54:11 mdw
44 * Standard curves and curve checking.
45 *
bc985cef 46 * Revision 1.7 2004/03/23 15:19:32 mdw
47 * Test elliptic curves more thoroughly.
48 *
391faf42 49 * Revision 1.6 2004/03/22 02:19:10 mdw
50 * Rationalise the sliding-window threshold. Drop guarantee that right
51 * arguments to EC @add@ are canonical, and fix up projective implementations
52 * to cope.
53 *
c3caa2fa 54 * Revision 1.5 2004/03/21 22:52:06 mdw
55 * Merge and close elliptic curve branch.
56 *
ceb3f0c0 57 * Revision 1.4.4.3 2004/03/21 22:39:46 mdw
58 * Elliptic curves on binary fields work.
59 *
8823192f 60 * Revision 1.4.4.2 2004/03/20 00:13:31 mdw
61 * Projective coordinates for prime curves
62 *
dbfee00a 63 * Revision 1.4.4.1 2003/06/10 13:43:53 mdw
64 * Simple (non-projective) curves over prime fields now seem to work.
65 *
41cb1beb 66 * Revision 1.4 2003/05/15 23:25:59 mdw
67 * Make elliptic curve stuff build.
68 *
b085fd91 69 * Revision 1.3 2002/01/13 13:48:44 mdw
70 * Further progress.
71 *
41a324a7 72 * Revision 1.2 2001/05/07 17:29:44 mdw
73 * Treat projective coordinates as an internal representation. Various
74 * minor interface changes.
75 *
b0ab12e6 76 * Revision 1.1 2001/04/29 18:12:33 mdw
77 * Prototype version.
