Curve Cryptography that we're aware of, either only 'named curves' are supported, or, if explicit
curve parameters are supported, they specify an X9.62 encoding of binary (GF(2^m)) curves that
can't represent problematic input values. Thus the likelihood of existence of a vulnerable
application is low.");
