xed or variable point multiplication, the underlying implementation uses a constant time algorithm, when the input scalar (either <b>n</b> or <b>m</b>) is in the range [0, ec_group_order).</p>

<p>Although deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and should no longer be used, EC_POINTs_mul calculates the value generator * <b>n</b> + <b>q[0]</b> * <b>m[0]</b> + ... + <b>q[num-1]</b> * <b>m[num-1]</b>. As for EC_POINT_mul the value <b>n</b> may be NULL or <b>num</b> may be zero. When performing a fixed point multiplication
