Pure Rust implementation of the NIST P-256 (a.k.a. secp256r1, prime256v1)
elliptic curve with support for ECDH, ECDSA signing/verification, and general
purpose curve arithmetic support implemented in terms of traits from the
elliptic-curve
crate.
The elliptic curve arithmetic contained in this crate has never been independently audited!
This crate has been designed with the goal of ensuring that secret-dependent
operations are performed in constant time (using the subtle
crate and
constant-time formulas). However, it has not been thoroughly assessed to ensure
that generated assembly is constant time on common CPU architectures.

feature.NIST P-256 is a Weierstrass curve specified in SP 800-186: Recommendations for Discrete Logarithm-based Cryptography: Elliptic Curve Domain Parameters.
Also known as prime256v1 (ANSI X9.62) and secp256r1 (SECG), it's included in the US National Security Agency's "Suite B" and is widely used in protocols like TLS and the associated X.509 PKI.
Rust 1.73 or higher.
Minimum supported Rust version can be changed in the future, but it will be done with a minor version bump.
