Motivation: The larger NIST curves can provide advantages in terms of the effective security they provide. This comes with trade-offs: in particular, computation over these curves is slower. However, right now we only provide curves with ~128-bit security. The two larger curves would be good to support too. Modifications: - Add key support with P384 and P521. Result: Users can have P384/P521 keys, and so can hosts.
