These points can be added, subtracted, or multiplied by integers (also called scalars). -Given an integer _k_ and +Given such a point _H_, an integer _k_ and using the scalar multiplication operation we can compute `k*H`, which is also a point on curve _C_. Given another integer _j_ we can also calculate `(k+j)*H`, which equals `k*H + j*H`. The addition and scalar multiplication operations on an elliptic curve
