-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-EC_GROUP_copy copies the curve B<src> into B<dst>. Both B<src> and B<dst> must use the same EC_METHOD.
-
-EC_GROUP_dup creates a new EC_GROUP object and copies the content from B<src> to the newly created
-EC_GROUP object.
-
-EC_GROUP_method_of obtains the EC_METHOD of B<group>.
-
-EC_GROUP_set_generator sets curve parameters that must be agreed by all participants using the curve. These
-parameters include the B<generator>, the B<order> and the B<cofactor>. The B<generator> is a well defined point on the
-curve chosen for cryptographic operations. Integers used for point multiplications will be between 0 and
-n-1 where n is the B<order>. The B<order> multiplied by the B<cofactor> gives the number of points on the curve.
-
-EC_GROUP_get0_generator returns the generator for the identified B<group>.
-
-The functions EC_GROUP_get_order and EC_GROUP_get_cofactor populate the provided B<order> and B<cofactor> parameters
-with the respective order and cofactors for the B<group>.
-
-The functions EC_GROUP_set_curve_name and EC_GROUP_get_curve_name, set and get the NID for the curve respectively
-(see L<EC_GROUP_new(3)>). If a curve does not have a NID associated with it, then EC_GROUP_get_curve_name
-will return 0.
-
-The asn1_flag value is used to determine whether the curve encoding uses
-explicit parameters or a named curve using an ASN1 OID: many applications only
-support the latter form. If asn1_flag is B<OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE> then the
-named curve form is used and the parameters must have a corresponding
-named curve NID set. If asn1_flags is B<OPENSSL_EC_EXPLICIT_CURVE> the
-parameters are explicitly encoded. The functions EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag and
-EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag get and set the status of the asn1_flag for the curve.
-Note: B<OPENSSL_EC_EXPLICIT_CURVE> was first added to OpenSSL 1.1.0, for
-previous versions of OpenSSL the value 0 must be used instead. Before OpenSSL
-1.1.0 the default form was to use explicit parameters (meaning that
-applications would have to explicitly set the named curve form) in OpenSSL
-1.1.0 and later the named curve form is the default.
-
-The point_conversion_form for a curve controls how EC_POINT data is encoded as ASN1 as defined in X9.62 (ECDSA).
-point_conversion_form_t is an enum defined as follows:
-
- typedef enum {
-        /** the point is encoded as z||x, where the octet z specifies
-         *   which solution of the quadratic equation y is  */
-        POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED = 2,
-        /** the point is encoded as z||x||y, where z is the octet 0x04  */
-        POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED = 4,
-        /** the point is encoded as z||x||y, where the octet z specifies
-         *  which solution of the quadratic equation y is  */
-        POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID = 6
- } point_conversion_form_t;
-
-For POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED the point is encoded as an octet signifying the UNCOMPRESSED form has been used followed by
-the octets for x, followed by the octets for y.
-
-For any given x co-ordinate for a point on a curve it is possible to derive two possible y values. For
-POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED the point is encoded as an octet signifying that the COMPRESSED form has been used AND which of
-the two possible solutions for y has been used, followed by the octets for x.
-
-For POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID the point is encoded as an octet signifying the HYBRID form has been used AND which of the two
-possible solutions for y has been used, followed by the octets for x, followed by the octets for y.
-
-The functions EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form and EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form set and get the point_conversion_form
-for the curve respectively.
-
-ANSI X9.62 (ECDSA standard) defines a method of generating the curve parameter b from a random number. This provides advantages
-in that a parameter obtained in this way is highly unlikely to be susceptible to special purpose attacks, or have any trapdoors in it.
-If the seed is present for a curve then the b parameter was generated in a verifiable fashion using that seed. The OpenSSL EC library
-does not use this seed value but does enable you to inspect it using EC_GROUP_get0_seed. This returns a pointer to a memory block
-containing the seed that was used. The length of the memory block can be obtained using EC_GROUP_get_seed_len. A number of the
-builtin curves within the library provide seed values that can be obtained. It is also possible to set a custom seed using
-EC_GROUP_set_seed and passing a pointer to a memory block, along with the length of the seed. Again, the EC library will not use
-this seed value, although it will be preserved in any ASN1 based communications.
-
-EC_GROUP_get_degree gets the degree of the field. For Fp fields this will be the number of bits in p.  For F2^m fields this will be
-the value m.
-
-The function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant calculates the discriminant for the curve and verifies that it is valid.
-For a curve defined over Fp the discriminant is given by the formula 4*a^3 + 27*b^2 whilst for F2^m curves the discriminant is
-simply b. In either case for the curve to be valid the discriminant must be non zero.
-
-The function EC_GROUP_check performs a number of checks on a curve to verify that it is valid. Checks performed include
-verifying that the discriminant is non zero; that a generator has been defined; that the generator is on the curve and has
-the correct order.
-
-EC_GROUP_cmp compares B<a> and B<b> to determine whether they represent the same curve or not.
-
-The functions EC_GROUP_get_basis_type, EC_GROUP_get_trinomial_basis and EC_GROUP_get_pentanomial_basis should only be called for curves
-defined over an F2^m field. Addition and multiplication operations within an F2^m field are performed using an irreducible polynomial
-function f(x). This function is either a trinomial of the form:
-
-f(x) = x^m + x^k + 1 with m > k >= 1
-
-or a pentanomial of the form:
-
-f(x) = x^m + x^k3 + x^k2 + x^k1 + 1 with m > k3 > k2 > k1 >= 1
-
-The function EC_GROUP_get_basis_type returns a NID identifying whether a trinomial or pentanomial is in use for the field. The
-function EC_GROUP_get_trinomial_basis must only be called where f(x) is of the trinomial form, and returns the value of B<k>. Similarly
-the function EC_GROUP_get_pentanomial_basis must only be called where f(x) is of the pentanomial form, and returns the values of B<k1>,
-B<k2> and B<k3> respectively.
-
-=head1 RETURN VALUES
-
-The following functions return 1 on success or 0 on error: EC_GROUP_copy, EC_GROUP_set_generator, EC_GROUP_check,
-EC_GROUP_check_discriminant, EC_GROUP_get_trinomial_basis and EC_GROUP_get_pentanomial_basis.
-
-EC_GROUP_dup returns a pointer to the duplicated curve, or NULL on error.
-
-EC_GROUP_method_of returns the EC_METHOD implementation in use for the given curve or NULL on error.
-
-EC_GROUP_get0_generator returns the generator for the given curve or NULL on error.
-
-EC_GROUP_get_order, EC_GROUP_get_cofactor, EC_GROUP_get_curve_name, EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag, EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form
-and EC_GROUP_get_degree return the order, cofactor, curve name (NID), ASN1 flag, point_conversion_form and degree for the
-specified curve respectively. If there is no curve name associated with a curve then EC_GROUP_get_curve_name will return 0.
-
-EC_GROUP_get0_order() returns an internal pointer to the group order.
-EC_GROUP_get_order_bits() returns the number of bits in the group order.
-EC_GROUP_get0_cofactor() returns an internal pointer to the group cofactor.
-
-EC_GROUP_get0_seed returns a pointer to the seed that was used to generate the parameter b, or NULL if the seed is not
-specified. EC_GROUP_get_seed_len returns the length of the seed or 0 if the seed is not specified.
-
-EC_GROUP_set_seed returns the length of the seed that has been set. If the supplied seed is NULL, or the supplied seed length is
-0, the return value will be 1. On error 0 is returned.
-
-EC_GROUP_cmp returns 0 if the curves are equal, 1 if they are not equal, or -1 on error.
-
-EC_GROUP_get_basis_type returns the values NID_X9_62_tpBasis or NID_X9_62_ppBasis (as defined in <openssl/obj_mac.h>) for a
-trinomial or pentanomial respectively. Alternatively in the event of an error a 0 is returned.
