Pure PHP Elliptic Curve DSA and DH

Information

This library is a rewrite/update of Matyas Danter's ECC library. All credit goes to him.

For more information on Elliptic Curve Cryptography please read this fine article.

The library supports the following curves:

secp112r1
secp256k1
nistp192
nistp224
nistp256 / secp256r1
nistp384 / secp384r1
nistp521

During ECDSA, a random value k is required. It is acceptable to use a true RNG to generate this value, but should the same k value ever be repeatedly used for a key, an attacker can recover that signing key. The HMAC random generator can derive a deterministic k value from the message hash and private key, voiding this concern.

The library uses a non-branching Montgomery ladder for scalar multiplication, as it's constant time and avoids secret dependant branches.
