      at e718fdf  This commit fixes a theoretical bug in the base point multiplier model. The model does multiplication using the double-and-add algorithm. When adding two points P and Q on curves P-256 and P-384, four special cases must be considered. One of them is P = Q, in that situation the explicit addition formulae don't work and either 2*P or 2*Q must be returned from the addition routine. In this model Q is always the base point G, so when P = G, then 2*G must be returned. Since  [...]
