Overview
--------

This library is a utility module to help with point-compression of NIST P-256
elliptic curve public keys. Refer to the documentation (built using `make doc`)
for more information.

Building
--------

Simply use `make` to build the library.

Limitations
-----------

This currently only supports NIST P-256 keys, other curves could be supported, but the work has not yet been done. Contributions welcome.
