/* Most method functions in this file are designed to work with

 * non-trivial representations of field elements if necessary

 * (see ecp_mont.c): while standard modular addition and subtraction

 * are used, the field_mul and field_sqr methods will be used for

 * multiplication, and field_encode and field_decode (if defined)

 * will be used for converting between representations.



 * Functions ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine() and

 * ec_GFp_simple_point_get_affine_coordinates() specifically assume

 * that if a non-trivial representation is used, it is a Montgomery

 * representation (i.e. 'encoding' means multiplying by some factor R).
