RustCrypto: BIGN P-256 (bign-curve256v1) elliptic curve

Pure Rust implementation of the BIGN P-256 (a.k.a. bign-curve256v1) elliptic curve with support for ECDSA signing/verification, and general purpose curve arithmetic support implemented in terms of traits from the elliptic-curve crate.

Documentation

⚠️ Security Warning

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.
