/** For secp256k1, 2Q is infinity if and only if Q is infinity. This is because if 2Q = infinity,
|
|
|
|
|
* Q must equal -Q, or that Q.y == -(Q.y), or Q.y is 0. For a point on y^2 = x^3 + 7 to have
|
|
|
|
|
* y=0, x^3 must be -7 mod p. However, -7 has no cube root mod p.
|
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
|
* Having said this, if this function receives a point on a sextic twist, e.g. by
|
|
|
|
|
* a fault attack, it is possible for y to be 0. This happens for y^2 = x^3 + 6,
|
|
|
|
|
* since -6 does have a cube root mod p. For this point, this function will not set
|
|
|
|
|
* the infinity flag even though the point doubles to infinity, and the result
|
|
|
|
|
* point will be gibberish (z = 0 but infinity = 0).
