+Elliptic Curve Operations
+============================
+
+In addition to high level operations for signatures, key agreement,
+and message encryption using elliptic curve cryptography, the library
+contains lower level interfaces for performing operations such as
+elliptic curve point multiplication.
+
+Only curves over prime fields are supported.
+
+Many of these functions take a workspace, either a vector of words or
+a vector of BigInts. These are used to minimize memory allocations
+during common operations.
+
+.. warning::
+ You should only use these interfaces if you know what you are doing.

+ parameters.
