-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The Elliptic Curve library provides a number of different implementations through a single common interface.
-When constructing a curve using EC_GROUP_new (see L<EC_GROUP_new(3)|EC_GROUP_new(3)>) an
-implementation method must be provided. The functions described here all return a const pointer to an
-B<EC_METHOD> structure that can be passed to EC_GROUP_NEW. It is important that the correct implementation
-type for the form of curve selected is used.
-
-For F2^m curves there is only one implementation choice, i.e. EC_GF2_simple_method.
-
-For Fp curves the lowest common denominator implementation is the EC_GFp_simple_method implementation. All
-other implementations are based on this one. EC_GFp_mont_method builds on EC_GFp_simple_method but adds the
-use of montgomery multiplication (see L<BN_mod_mul_montgomery(3)|BN_mod_mul_montgomery(3)>). EC_GFp_nist_method
-offers an implementation optimised for use with NIST recommended curves (NIST curves are available through
-EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name as described in L<EC_GROUP_new(3)|EC_GROUP_new(3)>).
-
-The functions EC_GFp_nistp224_method, EC_GFp_nistp256_method and EC_GFp_nistp521_method offer 64 bit
-optimised implementations for the NIST P224, P256 and P521 curves respectively. Note, however, that these
-implementations are not available on all platforms.
-
-EC_METHOD_get_field_type identifies what type of field the EC_METHOD structure supports, which will be either
-F2^m or Fp. If the field type is Fp then the value B<NID_X9_62_prime_field> is returned. If the field type is
-F2^m then the value B<NID_X9_62_characteristic_two_field> is returned. These values are defined in the
-obj_mac.h header file.
-
-=head1 RETURN VALUES
-
-All EC_GFp* functions and EC_GF2m_simple_method always return a const pointer to an EC_METHOD structure.
-
-EC_METHOD_get_field_type returns an integer that identifies the type of field the EC_METHOD structure supports.
