Description
Kokke! Thanks for the project, looks great!
A few questions:
1. Can it be used on big endian machines with same results?
2. In `ecdh.h` two curves `NIST_K409` and `NIST_K571` are marked as not working. What is a possible reason?

Research direction
Start with ecdh.h, especially the NIST_K409 and NIST_K571 definitions, then inspect the implementation for assumptions about byte order. Verify behavior on a big-endian machine and investigate why those curves are marked as not working. Done means establishing reproducible compatibility results and documenting or correcting the identified issue.
