C Reserved Identifiers

This translates sections [7.1.3][1] ("Reserved Identifiers") and [7.13][1] ("Future library directions") of the ISO C90 specification into English (and regexes).

This document will also cover the additions introduced by C99's section [7.26][3] ("Future library directions"), C11's section [7.31][4] ("Future library directions"), and C17's section [7.1.3][5] ("Reserved Identifiers").

Twisted Edwards & Short Weierstrass Equivalence

Putting this here since I don't see it documented anywhere in the literature.

Note that your Short Weierstrass curve must have 2-torsion.

1. Short Weierstrass -> Twisted Edwards

s = sqrt(3 * r^2 + a)

Covert ECDH over secp256k1

Covert ECDH over secp256k1

If ECDH is used to establish a shared session secret for an encrypted connection, two elliptic curve points need to be transmitted (one in each direction) before encryption starts. In order to avoid being identifiable as a (specific) ECDH negotiation, ideally those two points are sent in a way that is indistinguishable from random.

This problem is easily addressed by using curves that support Elligator-style encodings: functions that encode a (subset of) elliptic curve points as sequences of bytes with no observable bias: (almost) every byte sequence corresponds to exactly one point, and the others correspond to none.

Unfortunately, no Elligator-style encoding is known for secp256k1.
