-There is no built-in error checking or protection from out-of-bounds memory access errors as a result of malicious input. The two functions ecdh_shared_secret() and ecdh_generate_keys() expect inputs of a certain length. See [ecdh.h](https://github.com/kokke/tiny-ECDH-c/blob/master/ecdh.h) for clarification.

 The module allocates no RAM internally and takes up 2.1K ROM when compiled for ARM (1.4K for Thumb but YMMV).
 A keypair requires between 63 and 216 bytes of RAM depending on which curve you choose (i.e. how big the underlying base field is).
