32 * $Log: group-file.c,v $
33 * Revision 1.2 2004/04/04 19:04:11 mdw
34 * Raw I/O of elliptic curve points and group elements.
35 *
36 * Revision 1.1 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.)
