Elliptic curves are algebraic-geometric structures with applications in cryptography. Such a curve consists of the set of solutions to a cubic equation over a finite field equipped with a group operation. Questions relating to elliptic curves and derived algorithms should use this tag and might also consider more specific tags such as discrete-logarithm and ecdsa.

Why is a random component needed for ECDH key pair generation in Mbed TLS?
It is used to implement countermeasures against side-channel attacks.
From the paper:
If f_rng is not NULL, it is used to implement countermeasures against side-channel attacks.
And
The RNG functio …
