3.5.0                                              2025-06-04                         EC_GFP_SIMPLE_METHOD(3SSL)

       All const EC_METHOD *EC_GF* functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0, since EC_METHOD is no longer a
       public concept.

       The Elliptic Curve library provides a number of different implementations through a single common
       interface.  When constructing a curve using EC_GROUP_new (see EC_GROUP_new(3)) an implementation method
       must be provided. The functions described here all return a const pointer to an EC_METHOD structure that
       can be passed to EC_GROUP_NEW. It is important that the correct implementation type for the form of curve
       selected is used.

       For F2^m curves there is only one implementation choice, i.e. EC_GF2_simple_method.

       For Fp curves the lowest common denominator implementation is the EC_GFp_simple_method implementation.
       All other implementations are based on this one. EC_GFp_mont_method builds on EC_GFp_simple_method but
       adds the use of montgomery multiplication (see BN_mod_mul_montgomery(3)). EC_GFp_nist_method offers an
       implementation optimised for use with NIST recommended curves (NIST curves are available through
       EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name as described in EC_GROUP_new(3)).

       The functions EC_GFp_nistp224_method, EC_GFp_nistp256_method and EC_GFp_nistp521_method offer 64 bit
       optimised implementations for the NIST P224, P256 and P521 curves respectively. Note, however, that these
       implementations are not available on all platforms.

       EC_METHOD_get_field_type() was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.  Applications should use
       EC_GROUP_get_field_type() as a replacement (see EC_GROUP_copy(3)).

       EC_GFp_nistp256_method(), EC_GFp_nistp521_method(), EC_GF2m_simple_method(), and
       EC_METHOD_get_field_type() were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.

       Functions for obtaining EC_METHOD objects

       All EC_GFp* functions and EC_GF2m_simple_method always return a const pointer to an EC_METHOD structure.

       EC_METHOD_get_field_type returns an integer that identifies the type of field the EC_METHOD structure
       supports.

       The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining
       OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

        const EC_METHOD *EC_GFp_simple_method(void);
        const EC_METHOD *EC_GFp_mont_method(void);
        const EC_METHOD *EC_GFp_nist_method(void);
        const EC_METHOD *EC_GFp_nistp224_method(void);
        const EC_METHOD *EC_GFp_nistp256_method(void);
        const EC_METHOD *EC_GFp_nistp521_method(void);

        const EC_METHOD *EC_GF2m_simple_method(void);

        int EC_METHOD_get_field_type(const EC_METHOD *meth);
