    - #### multiply

          public ECPoint multiply(ECPoint p,
                         java.math.BigInteger k)

      Description copied from interface: `ECMultiplier`
      Multiplies the `ECPoint p` by `k`, i.e. `p` is added `k` times to itself.
      Specified by:
        `multiply` in interface `ECMultiplier`
      Parameters:
        `p` - The `ECPoint` to be multiplied.
        `k` - The factor by which `p` is multiplied.
      Returns:
        `p` multiplied by `k`.
