# Encryption Algorithm:
# ---------------------
# Input: Message M, public key Q
#
# 0. retrieve the group from which Q was generated.
# 1. generate random number k between 1 and the group order.
# 2. compute KG = k * G (where G is the base point of the group).
# 3. compute SG = k * Q (where Q is the public key of the receiver).
# 4. symmetrically encrypt M to M' using SG's x-coordinate as key.
#
# Return: Ciphertext M', temporary key KG

# ---------------------
# Input: Ciphertext M', temporary key KG, private key d
