 *
 * The Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) protocol is an anonymous
 * key agreement protocol allowing two parties to establish a shared
 * secret over an insecure channel. Each party must have an
 * elliptic-curve public–private key pair.
 *
 * For more information, see <em>NIST SP 800-56A Rev. 2: Recommendation for
 * Pair-Wise Key Establishment Schemes Using Discrete Logarithm
 * Cryptography</em>.
