Do you plan a backport of the carry propagation fix in secp384 [0] for nettle 2.7.1?
I hadn't planned to do that. Do you think I should?
My limited understanding of the 3.2 assembly file wouldn't work out of the box in 2.7 due to the change from ecc_curve to ecc_modulus.
I don't think that should be a problem, since the first argument to ecc_384_modp isn't used by the assembly implementation.
Hanno already pointed to the patches prepared by the debian maintainer. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=15;bug=813679;filename=net... (not yet available at https://sources.debian.net/src/nettle/2.7.1-5/debian/patches/, it seems).
