   2  Package x448 provides Diffie-Hellman functions as specified in RFC-7748.
   3  
   4  Validation of public keys.
   5  
   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).
