Function: _modifiedJacobianDouble(uint256 x, uint256 y, uint256 z)
This function takes as parameters Jacobian coordinates (x:y:z) of a point on the elliptic curve secp256r1 and returns Jacobian coordinates representing double that point. Additionally, when passed (0,0,0), the function should return (0,0,0). (See Finding ref↗.)
Inputs
(x, y, z):
Validation: No checks in this function.
Impact: Caller should ensure that (x:y:z) are valid Jacobian coordinates for a point on the secp256r1 curve, or (x,y,z)=(0,0,0).
Correctness:
Detailed steps taken to check correctness of the result: Assuming (x,y,z) are valid Jacobian coordinates for a point on the secp256r1 curve, we compare each of the steps of the computation done in the function with the reference book. Equality is here to be taken modulo pd.
