.Sh DESCRIPTION
The elliptic curve library provides a number of different
implementations through a single common interface.
+Each implementation is optimised for different scenarios.
+An implementation is represented by an

When constructing a curve using
.Xr EC_GROUP_new 3 ,
an implementation method must be provided.
