[PATCH v3 07/10] crypto: ecc - Use ecc_get_curve_nbits to get number of bits for NIST P521

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In ecc_point_mult query for the number of bits when using NIST P521 and
add '2'. The change is required specifically for NIST P521 to pass
mathematical tests on the public key.
