This note describes the fundamental algorithms of Elliptic Curve
Cryptography (ECC) as they were defined in some seminal references
from 1994 and earlier. These descriptions may be useful for
implementing the fundamental algorithms without using any of the
specialized methods that were developed in following years. Only
elliptic curves defined over fields of characteristic greater than
three are in scope; these curves are those used in Suite B.
