Functions

func Curve

func Curve() elliptic.Curve

Curve returns the standard secp256k1 elliptic curve.

Multiple invocations of this function will return the same value, so it can be used for equality checks and switch statements.

The cryptographic operations are implemented using constant-time algorithms.

func S256

func S256() elliptic.Curve
