The Elliptic Curve library provides a number of different implementations through a single common interface. When constructing a curve using EC_GROUP_new (see BN_mod_mul_montgomery(3)). EC_GFp_nist_method offers an implementation optimised for use with NIST recommended curves (NIST curves are available through EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name as described in RETURN VALUES
All EC_GFp* functions and EC_GF2m_simple_method always return a const pointer to an EC_METHOD structure. EC_METHOD_get_field_type returns an integer that identifies the type of field the EC_METHOD structure supports.
