-- --
-- This is a simple cryptographic system between 2 parties using Elliptic Curve.
--
-- The sending party create a shared secret using the receiver public key, and use the shared secret
-- to generate cryptographic material for an symmetric encryption scheme (preferably authenticated encryption).
--
-- The receiving party receive the temporary ephemeral public key which is combined to its secret key
-- to create the shared secret which just like on the sending is used to generate cryptographic material.
--
-- This module doesn't provide any symmetric data encryption capability or any mean to derive
-- cryptographic key material for a symmetric key from the shared secret.
-- this is left to the user for now.
