As we saw in the section <<public_key_derivation>>, a public key is a point (x, y) on an
elliptic curve. Because the curve expresses a mathematical function, a
point on the curve represents a solution to the equation and, therefore,
if we know the _x_ coordinate, we can calculate the _y_ coordinate by
