RSION_HYBRID the point is encoded as an octet signifying the HYBRID form has been used AND which of the two possible solutions for y has been used, followed by the octets for x, followed by the octets for y.</p>

<p>The functions EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form() and EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form(), set and get the point_conversion_form for the curve respectively.</p>

<p>ANSI X9.62 (ECDSA standard) defines a method of generating the curve parameter b from a random number. This provides advantages i
