+# NOTE
+
+This implementation is direct fork of Kylom's implementation. I claim no authorship over this code apart from some minor modifications.
+Please be aware this code **has not yet been reviewed**.
+
+ecies implements the Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme.
+
+The package is designed to be compliant with the appropriate NIST
+standards, and therefore doesn't support the full SEC 1 algorithm set.
+
+
+STATUS:
+
+ecies should be ready for use. The ASN.1 support is only complete so
+far as to supported the listed algorithms before.
+
+
+CAVEATS
+
+1. CMAC support is currently not present.
+
+
+SUPPORTED ALGORITHMS
+
+        SYMMETRIC CIPHERS               HASH FUNCTIONS
+             AES128                         SHA-1
+             AES192                        SHA-224
+             AES256                        SHA-256
+                                           SHA-384
+        ELLIPTIC CURVE                     SHA-512
+             P256
+             P384		    KEY DERIVATION FUNCTION
+             P521	       NIST SP 800-65a Concatenation KDF
+
+Curve P224 isn't supported because it does not provide a minimum security
+level of AES128 with HMAC-SHA1. According to NIST SP 800-57, the security
+level of P224 is 112 bits of security. Symmetric ciphers use CTR-mode;
+message tags are computed using HMAC-<HASH> function.
+
+
+CURVE SELECTION
+
+According to NIST SP 800-57, the following curves should be selected:
+
+    +----------------+-------+
+    | SYMMETRIC SIZE | CURVE |
+    +----------------+-------+
+    |     128-bit    |  P256 |
+    +----------------+-------+
+    |     192-bit    |  P384 |
+    +----------------+-------+
+    |     256-bit    |  P521 |
+    +----------------+-------+
+
+
+TODO
+
+1. Look at serialising the parameters with the SEC 1 ASN.1 module.
+2. Validate ASN.1 formats with SEC 1.
+
+
+TEST VECTORS
+
+The only test vectors I've found so far date from 1993, predating AES
+and including only 163-bit curves. Therefore, there are no published
+test vectors to compare to.
