this project is intended to make easier and faster crytography projects. it is intended to be very lightweight and thus will not have many dependencies
to create a new curve to do math on:
const g = new ModPoint(16n, 5n)
const curve = new Curve(9n, 17n, 23n, 23n, g)
g is your starting point on the curve with g you can do abstract math instead of 1 + 2 you would add g + 2g as an example
curve.add(<ModPoint>, <ModPoint>)
curve.subtract(<ModPoint>, <ModPoint>)
curve.multiply(<ModPoint>, <scalar>)
// e.g.
curve.multiply(g, 100n)
curve.double(g)
note division is not possible in elliptic curves. this is knows as the "elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem" (ECDLP) and is useful for security practices because it creates 1 way mathematics that are insolvable
const point = curve.multiply(g, 100n)
curve.verify(point)
curve.xToY(<x coordinate>, <is odd?>)
