=head1 DESCRIPTION
The Elliptic Curve library provides a number of different implementations through a single common interface.
-When constructing a curve using EC_GROUP_new (see L<EC_GROUP_new(3)|EC_GROUP_new(3)>) an
+When constructing a curve using EC_GROUP_new (see L<EC_GROUP_new(3)>) an
implementation method must be provided. The functions described here all return a const pointer to an
B<EC_METHOD> structure that can be passed to EC_GROUP_NEW. It is important that the correct implementation
type for the form of curve selected is used.
For Fp curves the lowest common denominator implementation is the EC_GFp_simple_method implementation. All
other implementations are based on this one. EC_GFp_mont_method builds on EC_GFp_simple_method but adds the

offers an implementation optimised for use with NIST recommended curves (NIST curves are available through

The functions EC_GFp_nistp224_method, EC_GFp_nistp256_method and EC_GFp_nistp521_method offer 64 bit
optimised implementations for the NIST P224, P256 and P521 curves respectively. Note, however, that these
