===ECDH Point Generation and AES-256 (GCM Mode) Setup===
'''NOTE''': AES-256-GCM is used because it provides authenticated encryption facilities, thus negating the need for a separate message hash for authentication.
* Generate the '''secret point''' using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_Diffie–Hellman ECDH] using the local entity's private key and the remote entity's public key as inputs.
+
* Initialize [http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-90A/SP800-90A.pdf HMAC_DRBG]
** Use '''SHA256(secret point's X value)''' for Entropy
** Use the given message's '''nonce''' field for Nonce
+
* Initialize AES-256 in GCM Mode
** Use HMAC_DRBG.GENERATE(32) as the Encryption Key (256 bits)
** Use HMAC_DRBG.GENERATE(12) as the Initialization Vector (IV) (96 bits)
