I’m not sure how much you’ll agree with whether this fits into the scope of this repository, but it might be useful when dealing with elliptic curves and needing to choose between them.

Some curves have unexplained seeds that could potentially pose a backdoor risk. For example, P-224 with its seed bd713447 99d5c7fc dc45b59f a3b9ab8f 6a948bc5.

If you agree, we could add a section called “Safe Curves” or something similar, providing detailed information about each one.
