|
| 6 | +The Diffie-Hellman function, as described in RFC-7748 [1], works for any |
| 7 | +public key. However, if a different protocol requires contributory |
| 8 | +behaviour [2,3], then the public keys must be validated against low-order |
| 9 | +points [3,4]. To do that, the Shared function performs this validation |
| 10 | +internally and returns false when the public key is invalid (i.e., it |
| 11 | +is a low-order point). |
