+ * Currently ecp_mul() takes a RNG function as an argument, used for
+ * side-channel protection, but it can be NULL. The initial reasonning was
+ * that people will pass non-NULL RNG when they care about side-channels, but
+ * unfortunately we have some APIs that call ecp_mul() with a NULL RNG, with
+ * no opportunity for the user to do anything about it.
+ *
+ * The obvious strategies for addressing that include:
+ * - change those APIs so that they take RNG arguments;
+ * - require a global RNG to be available to all crypto modules.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately those would break compatibility. So what we do instead is
+ * have our own internal DRBG instance, seeded from the secret scalar.
+ *
+ * The following is a light-weight abstraction layer for doing that with
+ * CTR_DRBG or HMAC_DRBG.
