This library implements a twisted Edwards curve whose base field is the
scalar field of the curve BW6_761. It is the same curve as that in
ark-ed_on_cp6_782. This allows defining cryptographic primitives that use
elliptic curves over the scalar field of the latter curve. This curve was
generated as part of the paper [BCGMMW20, “Zexe”].
