ecc_is_key_valid expects a key with the most significant digit in the last
entry of the digit array. Currently a reverse key is passed to
ecc_is_key_valid that then passes that rather simple test checking whether
the private key is in range [2, n-3]. For all current ecdh-supported
curves (NIST P192/256/384) n is a rather large number, therefore easily
passing this test. However, this will not work for NIST P521 anymore but
the properly prepared array of digits will need to be passed. Therefore,
use ecc_digits_from_array to create the digits array from the byte array
and pass the result to this test function. Use a swapped key in
ctx->private_key.
Note: The ctx->private_key is currently (unnecessarily) swapped and will
be swapped into proper order in ecc_make_pub_key and
crypto_ecdh_shared_secret before usage. Also the key generated in
ecc_gen_privkey, that is assigned to ctx->private_key, is currently
swapped. The above mention 'swap' and the ones mention here could likely
all be removed.
